Disclosed are a method of synthesizing prothioconazole and optically active isomers thereof and intermediates. The method includes reacting hydrazine with glyoxylic acid to produce a hydrazono acetic acid as an intermediate, and then reacting the intermediate with thiocyanate to produce the target product prothioconazole. The present method is very specific in terms of regioselectivity, resulting in minimum byproducts and a high product yield. The present method does not require special equipment, nor anhydrous or oxygen-free manipulations. The process is simple and generates minimum wastes, suitable for industrial production.
