11. As suggested by a reviewer of this manuscript, the deprotonation- protonation may be more important for systems giving a double bond conjugated to a pair aromatic systems (such as entry 3), while direct hydride shift (as a mode of charge migration) may operate in other systems not having the benefit of trans-stillbene-type conjugation.
