The invention discloses a preparation method for (R)-4-propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one. The preparation method comprises the following steps: subjecting a carboxylic acid compound to chiral resolution so as to obtain an R-configuration carboxylic acid compound and an S-configuration carboxylic acid compound; and separately subjecting the R-configuration carboxylic acid compound and/or the S-configuration carboxylic acid compound to a reaction so as to obtain (R)-4-propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one. According to the preparation method, a synthetic route is ingeniously designed, and the two opticallypure isomers obtained through chiral resolution of the carboxylic acid compound are separately utilized by different reaction routes, so the target compound is eventually prepared; and the method improves the utilization rate of the isomers while ensuring optical purity and eliminates the cumbersome steps of racemization and re-splitting of the other half of the isomers.
