The invention discloses a synthetic method of 2,3-dichloropyridine(III). The synthetic method of 2,3-dichloropyridine comprises the following steps: (1) taking pyridine (I) as a main starting raw material, taking water or water vapor as a reaction medium, reacting the pyridine with chlorine completely in the presence of a chlorination inducer to obtain pyridine chloride (II) as a reaction raw material for the next step; (2) taking the pyridine chloride (II) obtained from the first step as the reaction raw material, taking water or water vapor as a reaction medium, enabling the pyridine chloride (II) to be in contact with hydrogen in the presence of an acid-bining agent and a catalyst, and carrying out catalyzed hydrogeneration reduction reaction to obtain the 2,3-dichloropyridine (III) of which the purity is 99% or above, wherein the catalyst is a nano IrO2-ZnO-MnO2 composite catalyst. A reaction equation is as shown in the specification, wherein n ranges from 2 to 5. The synthetic method of 2,3-dichloropyridine has the advantages of high reaction conversion, high selectivity, stable product quality, simplicity in production and operation, low cost and the like, and the shortcomings that the quality of the 2,3-dichloropyridine (III) obtained by an existing synthetic method is not stable, and the quality of the 2,3-dichloropyridine (III) can reach up to the standard after the 2,3-dichloropyridine (III) is rectified repeatedly necessarily are overcome.
