  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007381",
  "term": "Migratory aptitude",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the relative tendency of different groups to migrate during a rearrangement reaction. This property is influenced by electronic and steric factors, determining which group will preferentially move to an electron-deficient center. For example, in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, the migratory aptitude of groups follows a general order.",
