Provided is a glyphosate synthesis technology. The glyphosate synthesis technology is characterized in that a metal alkoxide organic compound is adopted as a catalyst for glyphosate synthesis and particularly for depolymerization and addition during glyphosate synthesis. The glyphosate synthesis technology includes the following steps: an alcohol and paraformaldehyde are mixed and stirred to be uniform, the catalyst is added into a mixture solution or directly added into an alcohol solution of formaldehyde, and a transparent mixture solution is generated; triethylamine and glycine are added into the transparent mixture solution, stirring is conducted to carry out an addition reaction, and after the addition reaction is finished, dimethyl phosphite is added into the mixture solution to carry out a condensation reaction; and after the condensation reaction is finished, hydrochloric acid is added into the mixture solution to carry out hydrolysis, and then through crystallization, washingand drying, glyphosate is obtained. According to the technical scheme of the glyphosate synthesis technology, the specific catalyst is adopted, therefore, glyphosate synthesis reaction speed and selectivity are improved, reaction speeds of depolymerization and addition are high, the reactions are conducted completely, the final yield of a glyphosate product obtained through the glyphosate synthesis technology is increased by 3% or above compared with the final yield of a glyphosate product obtained through traditional technologies, and thus the glyphosate synthesis technology has a reaction advantage, an energy-saving advantage, a coat advantage and an environment-friendly advantage.
