α-Amino acids and α-amino methyl esters are easily converted to their N-monoalkyl derivatives by a reductive condensation reaction using several carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium borohydride. This reducing agent has shown a wide versatility with minor but essential procedural variations. The reaction allows the α-monodeuterium labeling of the new N-substituent by use of sodium borodeuteride.Key words: α-amino acid, α-amino methyl esters, sodium borohydride, reductive N-monoalkylation, carbonyl compounds.

The catalytic system 3-pentanol/ReOCl3(SMe2)(OPPh3) was very efficient for the deoxygenation of carbonyl compounds.
