A process for preparing valpromide of formula I and sodium valproate of formula II which comprises: cyanoacetate and 1-chloropropane are subjected to composite catalytic dipropylation in the presence of alkali to obtain 2-cyano-2-valproate of formula III; 2-cyano-2-valproate is hydrolyzed and deacidified to give propylvaleronitrile of formula V; propylvaleronitrile is alcoholized in the presence of acid to give valpromide of formula I and valproate ester of formula VI; and valproate ester is hydrolyzed in a sodium hydroxide solution to afford sodium valproate of formula II.
