The Curtius rearrangement is a synthesis of isocyanates (R-N=C=O) by thermal or photochemical rearrangement of acyl acides and/or acylnitrenes. The photochemical rearrangement of benzoyl azide is now shown for the first time to produce a small amount of phenyl cyanate (Ph-O-CN) together with phenyl isocyanate
