The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and provides a novel method for synthesizing cariprazine. The novel method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out condensation reaction on trans-2-(4-(3,3-dimethyl ureido) cyclohexyl) acetic acid and 1-(2,3-dichlorophenyl) piperazine to obtain 3-(trans-4-{2-[4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-piperazine-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-cyclohexyl)-1,1-dimethylurea; and secondly, reducing 3-(trans-4-{2-[4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-piperazine-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-cyclohexyl)-1,1-dimethylurea by using borane to obtain the cariprazine. The method hasthe advantages that process steps are greatly shortened, the purity of a final product is ensured and the total yield is obviously increased.
