The '''Curtius rearrangement''' was first reported by Theodor Curtius in 1890. This rearrangement, which is also called the Curtius reaction or Curtius degradation, proceeds via a highly versatile isocyanate intermediate which can be easily trapped by a variety of nucleophiles, including water, alcohols, and amines via a concerted mechanism which proceeds with retention of configuration.

The Curtius rearrangement was first reported by Theodor Curtius in 1890. This rearrangement, which is also called the Curtius reaction or Curtius degradation, proceeds via a highly versatile isocyanate intermediate which can be easily trapped by a variety of nucleophiles, including water, alcohols, and amines via a concerted mechanism which proceeds with retention of configuration. Therefore, this Curtius rearrangement is one of the most widely used organic reactions, with numerous recent examples in the literature.
