The invention relates to a favipiravir synthesis process, which comprises: 1) dissolving a pyrazine compound in an organic reagent I, adding an oxidizing agent M, and carrying out a nitrogen oxidation reaction to obtain a white solid; 2) adding the obtained white solid to an organic reagent II, and carrying out a chlorination reaction to obtain a pale yellow solid; 3) uniformly mixing the obtained pale yellow solid, a dried aprotic polar solvent, a dried fluorine ion donor reagent and tetrabutylammonium bromide, and carrying out a stirring reaction to obtain a pale yellow solid; 4) adding the obtained pale yellow solid to water, and carrying out a reaction with 1,4-dioxane and sodium acetate to obtain a yellow oily matter; and 5) uniformly mixing the obtained yellow oily matter and concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain the target product favipiravir. According to the present invention, the method has advantages of simple and easily available raw materials, simple synthesis process and mild conditions, nitrogen oxidation, chlorination, fluorization and hydrolysis are performed to finally prepare the 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-formamide, and the good industrial value is provided.
