The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic method of 2,3,5-trichloropyridine, it comprises the following steps: (1) under the condition that phase-transfer catalyst and polymerization inhibitor exist, chloral, acrylonitrile and catalyzer are in 60 Carry out chemical reaction at ~90°C to prepare the intermediate product 2,4,4-trichloro-4-formylbutyronitrile; (2) warm up the reaction solution obtained in step (1) to 60-100°C, and slowly pass Hydrogen chloride gas was added to carry out the ring closure reaction to prepare the target compound 2,3,5-trichloropyridine. By adopting the synthesis method of the present invention, the reaction conditions are mild and do not require harsh reaction conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure and reaction solvent, the catalyst can be recycled and used mechanically, the heavy metal pollution is less, the yield of the target product is high, reaching 80%, and the purity is high. 99%, the post-treatment of the product is simple, the cost is reduced, and it is suitable for industrial production.
