The present invention provides a new intermediate II and a method for synthesizing the same. The method comprises: (a) firstly diazotizing a compound of formula I as a raw material, and then halogenating to obtain an intermediate II; and (b) reacting the intermediate II with a compound III to obtain a compound IV, hydrolyzing the obtained compound IV directly without being separated to obtain Vortioxetine represented by compound V. The intermediate II can be used for synthesizing Vortioxetine. ##STR00001##
