The invention provides a method for synthesizing methyl heptenone from methyl butynolwhich. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out a rearrangement reaction on methyl butynol and 2-alkoxy propylene under the action of an acid catalyst to obtain a mixture of allenyl ketone and methylheptadienone; and carrying out selective hydrogenation on the mixture under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst to obtain the methyl heptenone product. The synthesis route is novel, firstly, the rearrangement reaction is firstly carried out to obtain allenyl ketone and methylheptadienone intermediates, and the problem of low selectivity of enol synthesis by alkynol hydrogenation is avoided; sulfonic acid resin and a Lewis acid are used for a synergistic catalytic reaction, so that the rearrangement reaction condition is mild; then hydrogenation of allenyl ketone and methylheptadienone is catalyzed by using a Lindelar catalyst and taking an alkali and quinoline as assistants so as to obtainthe methyl heptenone with high selectivity; and the method has the advantages of readily available starting raw materials, low price, high total yield of the route, good cost advantage and potential application prospect.
