The difference between one pot synthetic method and one step reaction

Christan Middleton  Follow

"One step" refers to a process that produces the desired product by running a single reaction--especially in a situation where there are alternative pathways to the same product involving two or more reactions in a sequence.

"One pot" refers to a process involving a series of distinct reactions carried out sequentially and in a single reaction vessel to produce the desired product without isolating and purifying the intermediates after each step.
