Disclosed is a method for preparing oxetan-2-ylmethanamine, which belongs to the field of organic synthesis. [2-(1-ethoxyethoxy)methyl]propylene oxide is used as an initial raw material, and reacted in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and trimethylsulfoxonium iodide; the resulting product is reacted with a sulfonyl compound and triethylamine; the resulting product is reacted with a compound of phthalimide; the resulting product is reacted with an amino group-containing compound, to obtain oxetan-2-ylmethanamine. The method according to the disclosure allows for an overall yield of not less than 30% in scale-up production (kilogram level), which is higher. Moreover, compared with the traditional method for preparing oxetan-2-ylmethanamine, a palladium-carbon catalytic hydrogenation step is not required, and dangerous chemical-sodium azide is not required in the method according to the disclosure. Thus, the method has high safety, low production cost, simple operations, and thereby is suitable for industrial production.
