The invention relates to a chiral pyrrolidine compound and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a preparation method of a compound (IX). The chiral pyrrolidine compound is used as a Doripenem intermediate. According to the compound, sulfydryl is protected by adopting aroyl, amino is protected by using allyloxycarbonyl, bromide is prepared, a sulfamide group is used for substitution, the prepared compound is feasible in process route, and industrial production can be realized. The chiral pyrrolidine compound is high in quality, is a tabular crystal, and is easily purified; and the purity can be accurately measured by using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), and the defects of content measured by using a titration or derivation method, and the like are avoided. When the Doripenem is synthesized by connecting with a Doripenem mother nucleus, the utilization rate of the mother nucleus is increased, the purification process of the Doripenem bulk pharmaceutical chemicals is simplified, the consumption of a hydrogenation catalyst is reduced, byproducts are prevented from being introduced due to deprotection of aluminum trichloride, protecting groups are finally transformed into gas which is completely removed, so that the Doripenem bulk pharmaceutical chemicals are high in yield and good in purity, and are reduced in manufacture cost. The compound is shown in the description, wherein Ar=Ph, PhCH2, 4-NO2Ph and 4CH3Ph.
