The invention relates to a synthesis method of substituted indole compounds, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing substituted indole compounds through a one-pot method. The method comprises the following steps : under alkaline and anaerobic conditions, reacting ortho-nitrotoluene derivatives and N, N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal or triethyl orthoformate used as raw materials in an organic solvent; and then, adding a reducer, and performing reduction and cyclization reaction to obtain indole derivatives, wherein R is a monosubstitution or polysubstitution located on site 4, 5, 6 or 7; and the R substituent is hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkoxy, amino or halogen atom. According to the invention, a one-pot method is adopted; the conventional and readily accessible ortho-nitrotoluene compounds are directly used as raw materials for reaction; separation and purification of intermediate compounds are not required; and the indole derivatives can be synthesized through the one-pot method by effectively controlling the reaction conditions, the charging sequence and the charging ratio. According to the invention, the technological operation procedure is simplified, the reaction time is shortened, the cost is saved, the total yield is improved, and better production and practical values can be achieved.
