The invention discloses a method for synthesizing (2S,3S)-3-amino-bicyclo[2.2.2] octane-2-formate and belongs to the field of pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis. The purposes of the invention are to solve the problems of high preparation cost, low material safety and the like of (2S, 3S)-3-amino-bicyclo[2.2.2] octane-2-formate, further improve the productivity and reduce the production cost. According to the method disclosed by the invention, 3-carbonyl-bicyclo[2.2.2] octane-2-formate is used as a starting material, and reductive amination, basic configuration inversion, hydrogenation protection group removal and the like are sequentially carried out, so that the target product is obtained. According to the invention, the (2S, 3S)-3-amino-bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane-2-formate is synthesizedby using the synthesis method, the novel process route is used, the yield is more than 65%, and the method has characteristics of novel route, mild reaction condition, low cost and the like.
