The invention relates to a method for preparing a quinoxaline-2-ketone derivative through controllable catalysis. The method comprises the following steps: adding a Selectfluor reagent into an organic solvent, carrying out ultrasonic dissolution, respectively adding a quinoxaline-2-ketone compound, an alcohol and an additive into the organic solvent, carrying out a stirring reaction at room temperature under the irradiation of a light source, tracking by TLC until the raw material quinoxaline-2-ketone compound is completely reacted, then ending the reaction, and carrying out post-treatment and column chromatography separation and purification to obtain the 3-alkoxy quinoxaline-2-ketone derivative or the 3-hydroxyalkyl quinoxaline-2-ketone derivative. Clean visible light is used as reaction energy, the preparation process is simple and efficient, operation is convenient, conditions are mild, environment friendliness is achieved, the substrate application range is wide, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
