The invention discloses a synthesis method of tert-butyl cyclohexyl ethyl carbonate spice and relates to the technical field of fine chemical engineering. The synthesis method includes: using phenol and tert-butanol as starting raw materials for alkylation reaction, hydrogenating, being in acetylation reaction with diethyl carbonate to generate tert-butyl cyclohexyl ethyl carbonate. The synthesismethod is easy-to-get in raw material and high in yield, a ratio of o-tert-butyl phenol and p-tert-butyl phenol generated by reaction of phenol and tert-butanol reaches 7:3, and p-tert-butyl phenol which is a byproduct can generate iris ester for use after being hydrogenated and esterified; the spice is high in purity and pure and gentle in fragrance and meets flavoring requirements of essence andspice.
