The invention discloses a preparation method of an indoxacarb mother drug, comprising the following steps: using 5-chloroindanone as a raw material to synthesize: (S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxyl-1- Methyl oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylate; from (S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-methyl carboxylate and Benzyl carbazate is first condensed and then synthesized with diethoxymethane: 2‑benzyloxycarboxy‑7‑chloroindeno[1,2‑P][1,3,4]oxadiazine‑2, 4a-methyl carboxylate; use p-trifluoromethoxyaniline as raw material and methyl chloroformate, 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as acid-binding agent to generate 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl Methyl carbamate is then photoacylated with sodium methoxide to generate chloroformyl (4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl) methyl carbamate; by 2-benzyloxycarboxy-7-chloroindeno[1,2 ‑P][1,3,4]Oxadiazine‑2,4a‑carboxylate methyl ester is deprotected by hydrogenation, and then synthesized with methyl chloroformyl (4‑trifluoromethoxyphenyl) carbamate prestige. The invention has the advantages of high reaction yield, greatly improved production efficiency, high product purity and no pollution to the environment.
