From google search: "Background on the Evelyn Effect
David Todd, a professor at Pomona College, was dehydrating 2-methylcyclohexanol using an acid catalyst. As the product was distilling, he was interrupted by the department secretary. Out of curiosity, he collected the remaining distillate in a separate vial to see if the product composition differed from the earlier fraction. Using a gas chromatograph, he discovered that the product ratios varied as the reaction proceeded. The discovery was named after his secretary: The Evelyn Effect. The Evelyn Effect is defined as the phenomena in which the product ratios in a reaction change as the reaction proceeds."
Really interesting phenomena

Hello abcc:

Check this link:

http://www.cachesoftware.com/teach/ (look at chapter or part 5, there you can find several pages
about Evelyn Effect)

or look at into the Journal of Chemical Education (1994) Vol 71, pag 440 a original paper of Evelyn Effect
by David Todd. ( http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/Journal/Issues/1994/May/index.html )

Huh.  I'd never heard of that, but it does explain what one of my reactions was doing a while back.
