In organic chemistry, the anomeric effect or Edward-Lemieux effect is a stereoelectronic effect that describes the tendency of heteroatomic substituents adjacent to a heteroatom within a cyclohexane ring to prefer the axial orientation instead of the less hindered equatorial orientation that would be expected from steric considerations. This effect was originally observed in pyranose rings by J. T. Edward in 1955 when studying carbohydrate chemistry.
The term anomeric effect was introduced in 1958. The name comes from the term used to designate the lowest-numbered ring carbon of a pyranose, the anomeric carbon. Isomers that differ only in the configuration at the anomeric carbon are called anomers. The anomers of D-glucopyranose are diastereomers, with the beta anomer having an OH group pointing up equatorially, and the alpha anomer having that OH group pointing down axially.
The anomeric effect can also be generalized to any cyclohexyl or linear system with the general formula C-Y-C-X, where Y is a heteroatom with one or more lone pairs, and X is an electronegative atom or group. The magnitude of the anomeric effect is estimated at about 1–2 kcal/mol in the case of sugars, but is different for every molecule.
In the above case, the methoxy group on the cyclohexane ring (top) prefers the equatorial position. However, in the tetrahydropyran ring (bottom), the methoxy group prefers the axial position. This is because in the cyclohexane ring, Y= carbon, which is not a heteroatom, so the anomeric effect is not observed and sterics dominates the observed substituent position. In the tetrahydropyran ring, Y= oxygen, which is a heteroatom, so the anomeric effect contributes and stabilizes the observed substituent position. In both cases, X= OMe.
The anomeric effect is most often observed when Y= oxygen, but can also be seen with other lone pair bearing heteroatoms in the ring, such as nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.
The exact method by which the anomeric effect causes stabilization is a point of controversy, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain it.

Un pyranose est un terme désignant les oses dont la structure chimique est composée d'un hétérocycle à 6 atomes : 5 de carbone et un d'oxygène. Le terme pyranose dérive de la similarité du cycle avec celui de l'hétérocycle du pyrane. Dans un aldose, le cycle pyranose est le produit de la réaction d'hémi-acétalisation, sous catalyse acide en présence d'eau, entre le groupement alcool du carbone 5 et le groupement aldéhyde du carbone 1 (voir séquence).
Carbohydrate conformation refers to the overall three-dimensional structure adopted by a carbohydrate (saccharide) molecule as a result of the through-bond and through-space physical forces it experiences arising from its molecular structure. The physical forces that dictate the three-dimensional shapes of all molecules—here, of all monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, and polysaccharide molecules—are sometimes summarily captured by such terms as "steric interactions" and "stereoelectronic effects" (see below).
thumb|L'effet stérique d'une molécule de tri-(tert-butyl)amine rend les réactions électrophiles, comme la formation ici de cations de tetraalkylammonium, difficiles. Il est difficile pour les électrophiles de se rapprocher et d'attaquer les doublets non liants de la molécule d'azote (ici en bleu). L'effet stérique est l'ensemble des attractions et répulsions entre atomes d'une molécule liées au chevauchement des nuages des lobes orbitaux électroniques (répulsion de Pauli ou de Born) qui affecte la forme normale de la molécule ainsi que ses propriétés lors d'une réaction chimique.
