Preferred Label : migratory aptitude;
IUPAC definition : The term is applied to characterize the relative tendency of a group to participate
in a rearrangement. In nucleophilic rearrangements ( migration to an electron-deficient
centre), the migratory aptitude of a group is loosely related to its capacity to stabilize
a partial positive charge, but exceptions are known, and the position of hydrogen
in the series is often unpredictable.;
