38. [8f] Although the substituent effects outlined in refs.[8a-8c] relate to migration of substituted phenyl groups, those in the current case are observed on migration of a benzylic carbon atom, and involvement of phenonium ions etc.[8a-8d) is therefore ruled out. It might also be mentioned here that even longrange substituent effects on migratory aptitude in BV oxidation have been reported.[8e]
