A catalytic reductive addition of isocyanoacetates to tertiary lactams/amides has been developed. This one-pot procedure involves Ir-catalysed partial reduction of lactams/amides and sequential chemoselective addition of isocyanide group in isocyanoacetates and produces 5-methoxyoxazoles in moderate to excellent yields.
