The present application provides a method for preparing nintedanib. The method of the present application is carried out by using 4-halo-3-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (compound II) and 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionate (compound III) as raw materials, and preparing nintedanib via intermediates of methyl 4-(1-alkoxy-1,3-dioxo-3-phenyl propan-2-yl)-3-nitrobenzoate (compound IV) and methyl 3-benzoyl-2-oxoindoline-6-formate (compound V). The method for preparing nintedanib (I) provided by the present application has the advantages of using easily obtained raw materials, having a simple process, being cost effective and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for industrial-scale production.
