stereoselective reactions: choice of pathway leading to different stereoisomer from the same starting material.

stereospecific reactions: the mechanism means that the stereochemistry of the product is determined by the steriochemistry of the starting material.

In a stereoselective reaction, the reactants can potentially form multiple stereoisomers, but one stereoisomer is favored over the others. In a stereospecific reaction, the reactants can also form multiple stereoisomers, but only one specific stereoisomer is produced.
