Anomeric Effect Defined (IUPAC):
Originally defined as the thermodynamic preference for polar groups bonded
to C- 1 (the anomeric carbon of a glycopyranosyl derivative) to take up an
axial position.

This effect is now considered to be a special case of a general preference
(the generalized anomeric effect ) for gauche conformations
about the bond C–Y in the system X–C–Y–C where X and Y are heteroatoms
having nonbonding electron pairs, commonly at least one of which
is nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur or fluorine.

Historical Aspects of the Anomeric Effect
First observed in 1955 by J.T. Edward and in 1958 by R.U. Lemieux.
Both were studying carbohydrate chemistry and noticed a preference for
alkoxy and acetyl groups to reside in the axial position. Edward proposed
that the lone pairs on the ring oxygen were contributing to the effect.
