Curtius Rearrangement is also called Curtius degradation or Curtius reaction. Curtius Rearrangement is a thermal decomposition of acyl acid to form isocyanate with a loss of nitrogen as stated by Theodor Curtius in the year 1885. It is also known as Curtius degradation or Curtius reaction. This reaction is identical to Schmidt Reaction.

Isocyanates are subjected to attack by various nucleophiles namely alcohols, water, and amines which in turn outputs urea derivative or carbamate and essential amines.
