A stepwise reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs in a series of distinct steps or stages, rather than in a single, concerted process. Each step typically involves the formation of one or more intermediates, which are transient species that exist for a finite period of time before they are converted into the final products. Stepwise reactions can often be represented by a reaction mechanism that outlines each individual step, including the reactants, intermediates, and products involved.
