The invention discloses a method for preparing L-menthol by adopting a modified homogeneous catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a modified homogeneous catalyst, preparing isopulegol, preparing D, L-menthol, and preparing L-menthol; wherein a ligand is prepared from 2, 6-dimethylpyridine and a ketone compound by using the modified homogeneous catalyst, the ligand is reacted with alkyl aluminum to obtain an organic aluminum compound, and L-menthol is prepared by chemically inducing chiral resolution of D, L-menthol. According to the method, the organic aluminum compoundis used as the catalyst of the ring-closure reaction of citronellal, so that the yield of isopulegol is increased, the selectivity on product isopulegol is high, and the used organic aluminum catalyst is easy to synthesize, high in stereoselectivity to reaction and easy to crystallize and recover; D, L-menthol is split by a chemical induction method, the method is simple to operate, the reactionyield of each step is high, the reaction conditions are stable, the product cannot be partially racemized, and the product loss is small.
