The invention discloses a method for preparing highly pure L-tertiary leucine through a biosynthesis process. The method comprises the following steps: inoculating an Escherichia coli seed liquid expressing leucine dehydrogenase gene and formic dehydrogenase gene into in a fermenting culture medium of a self-induction system, carrying out fermenting culture, centrifuging to obtain crude thalli, and adding a buffer solution to obtain a cell suspension; adding substrates comprising trimethylpyruvic acid and ammonium formate, and carrying out a biological catalysis reaction to obtain an trimethylpyruvic acid conversion solution; and centrifuging the conversion solution, adjusting the pH value of the solution, carrying out column chromatography, precipitating, and concentrating to obtain highly pure L-tertiary leucine. The method fully uses the high effectiveness, the specificity and the mildness of an enzyme; and compared with traditional chemical synthesis methods, the method disclosed in the invention has the advantages of high selectivity, mild conditions, simple process, low cost, small pollution and the like.
