Provided is a synthesis process for the one-step production of a monomeric polyether for polycarboxylic acid water reducing agents, wherein the monomeric polyether is synthesized in one step by mixing an initator and a catalyst at a temperature and a pressure, and then introducing same into a reaction kettle together with an epoxide at a certain ratio for ring opening polymerization. The synthesis process of the present invention realizes continuous production without the need of first synthesizing a prepolymer and then synthesizing a macromolecular monomeric polyether step by step, thereby improving the production efficiency.
