The invention discloses a method for preparing 1-(4-chlorphenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-1-acetone. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, carrying out reaction on cyclopropyl methyl ketone and p-chlorobenzyl for 2-4 hours at the temperature ranging from 90 DEG C to 110 DEG C, and obtaining a compound I after post treatment, wherein the cyclopropyl methyl ketone and the p-chlorobenzyl are used as reactants, sodium hydride is used as a catalyst and toluol is used as solvent; secondly, leading the compound I to react with magnesium in a isopropanol dissolvent at the temperature ranging from 45 DEG C to 60 DEG C, and obtaining a compound II after post treatment; and thirdly, adding the compound II to DMF (Dimethyl Formamide), then adding sodium hydroxide, importing oxygen for 8 hours to15 hours under stirring for reaction, controlling the temperature to range from 10 DEG C to 25 DEG C, and finally obtaining the 1-(4-chlorphenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-1-acetone after post treatment. The preparation method has the advantages of simple steps, cheap and easily obtained raw materials, no deadly poison, low cost; less three-waste (waste gas, waste water and industrial residue) pollution, suitability for industrial production and higher yield and content of end products.
