In the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation the migratory aptitude (according to what I've been taught) is listed as the most substituted group > least substituted group.
I have two question : Why is this the pattern of migration ? Wouldn't it be better to leave the most substituted group behind to allow for the stabilisation of the positive charge formed when the group migrates to the oxygen ?
Also, why on wikipedia is Hydrogen listed as a better migratory group than tertiary alkyl ? Is this due to sterics ?
