The invention discloses a synthesis method of beta-thymidine. The synthesis method takes trimethylchlorosilane and 5-methyluracil as raw materials to react; in a reaction line process, tetraacetylribose, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetylchloride are introduced; then hydrogenation reaction and hydrolysis reaction are carried out to finally obtain a beta-thymidine finished product and the yield is 89 percent. Compared with an existing synthesis method, the synthesis method of the beta-thymidine has the advantages that the price of raw materials is low, the content of the beta-thymidine in the final product is high, and pollution to the environment in a production process is small; in a synthesis process, the content of generated impurities is less. According to the synthesis method disclosed by the invention, an obtained result is stable and the operation is simple; demands on equipment and preparation environments are not strict so that large-scale popularization is facilitated.
