The present invention relates to a method for preparing zaltoprofen or a zaltoprofen derivative by a Friedel-Crafts reaction type intramolecular cyclization reaction in an industrial scale at an industrially acceptable yield and a purity sufficient for use as an active ingredient of medicaments in a simple and economical manner, without generating a detectable amount of impurities such as dimmers, by using polyphosphoric acid in an amount of 6.5 times or less of amount of a starting material compound before cyclization. More specifically, the present invention relates to such a method for preparing zaltoprofen or a zaltoprofen derivative as mentioned above, which comprises cyclizing a starting material compound before cyclization by an intramolecular cyclization reaction thereof in the presence of one or more kinds of organic solvents selected from the group consisting of 1,1,2-trichloroethene, methylcyclohexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane and the like.
