13. Electromeric effect
ā¢ The complete transfer of shared pairs of Ļ electrons of a double bond or multiple bond to one of the
bonded atoms under the influence of the attacking reagent is known as electromeric effect.
ā¢ Since the effect involves complete transference of electrons, it lead to the development of full positive
charge (+) and negative charges (-) within the molecule. Electromeric effect is a temporary effect and
operates in presence of attacking reagent.
ā¢ If a proton (H+) adds to C=C bond, the Ļ bond will break and the electron pair will be transferred
completely to one of the C atoms.
ā¢ When the displacement of an electron pair is away from the atom or group, it is called + E effect.
ā¢ When the displacement of an electron pair is towards the atom or group, it is called + E effect

31. 12. Crossed aldol condensation
ā¢ If you react two aldehydes or ketones together in an aldol
condensation, you will get four products. However, if one of
the reactants doesnāt have any alpha hydrogens it can be
condensed with another compound that does have alpha
hydrogens to give only one organic product in a ācrossedā
aldol..
