I need to prepare N-methylamino acids by reduction of their N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives , but i dont have lithium aluminum hydride at hand , i
was thinking in using NaBH4 but i dont have information of this type of reduction with this or other reagents , maybe someone has some experience in
this reaction and can help me .
Thanks in advance.

I think you will have to remove the protecting group first, Then you can methylate the amino group.
You might avail yourself of the two peptide books some saintly benefactor put up on 4shared.com

Benzyloxycarbonyl is usually abbreviated Z (like Zorro) in honor of Emil Zervas, the Max Bergmann coworker who developed this reagent and PG. In the
old literature it is referred to as carboxybenzyl, and the Chinese still stubbornly abbreviate it as Cbz. But just Z is more common.
The classical removal of the Z group is by catalytic hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure over Pd/C in toluene. This was also developed by Bergmann
and Zervas. Since the PG falls apart to toluene and CO2 this affords a very clean product and unusually easy workup.

A General One-Pot, Three-Component Mono N-Alkylation of Amines and Amine Derivatives in Lithium Perchlorate/Diethyl Ether Solution
Mono-N-Alkylation of Amines
Akbar Heydari,* Hossein Tavakol, Saied Aslanzadeh, Jamshid Azarnia, Nafiseh Ahmadi
Synthesis 2005: 627-633
Abstract:
An efficient, general procedure for reductive monoalkylation
of amines and amine derivatives with aldehydes is reported.
Treatment of aldehydes with primary amines, secondary amines, Otrimethylsilylhydroxylamine, and N,N-dimethylhydrazine in lithium
perchlorate/diethyl ether and trimethylsilyl chloride, followed
by BH3·NEt3 reduction, and straightforward workup afforded secondary
amines, tertiary amines, N-substituted hydroxylamines, and
hydrazines, respectively. Reductive alkylation of a-amino esters
with aldehydes afforded the corresponding N-monoalkylated aamino
esters selectively.
Key words lithium perchlorate, reductive amination, alkylation,
amines

Thank you both for the information , but what i want to do is to react the amine with benzyl carbamate , and then reduce it with other reagent than
lithium aluminum hydride , when you reduce the N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivative with lithium aluminum hydride it automatically removes the protecting
group and methylates the amine .

Abstract
A stereospecific requirement for hallucinogenesis applies to certain molecules containing an asymmetric center. Thus, only the R- isomers of
substituted phenylisopropylamines and lysergic acid diethylamide are psychotomimetic. The enantiomers of a minor hallucinogen, S(+)- and
R(--& #8203;3-& #8203;(2-aminopropyl)indole
(a-methyltryptamine) (6a and 6b) were synthesized via a 5-step manipulation from D- and L-tryptophan ethyl ester
hydrochloride, respectively. Optical purity of these two isomers was determined by pmr spectroscopy of their complexes with a europium chiral shift
reagent using the indole C2H signal.

Applications of the Salicylidenimino Chirality Rule2

Abstract
0- and m-chloroamphetamine have been resolved and the absolute configurations of the respective enantiomers determined by catalytic hydrogenolysis to
amphetamine. The established absolute configurations of (R J-(-)-o-, (S)-(+)-m-,a nd (S)-(+)-p-chloroamphetaminea re compared with predictions based
on Snatzke's sector rule for the correlation of absolute configuration with the sign of the ILb Cotton effect and with predictions based on the
salicylidenimino chirality rule for the correlation of absolute configuration with the sign of the Cotton effects near 255 and 315 (325) nm in the CD
spectrum of the N-salicylidene (N-5-bromosalicylidene) derivative. Snatzke's rule does not correctly predict the sign of the lLb Cotton effect for the
meta isomer. The salicylidenimino chirality rule, however, correctly predicts the sign of the Cotton effects near 255 and 325 nm observed for the
N-5-bromosalicylidene derivatives, the S configuration in each case producing strong positive Cotton effects. These results confirm the
configurational assignments for the nonstimulant anorectic agent (+) -fenfluramhe and for the enantiomers of the psychotomimetic amine
l-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylbenzyl)ethylaminme,a de on the basis of the
CD spectra of the respective N-salicylidene derivatives.

But none of those references seem to contain a one step amine methylation and deprotection by reduction of it's N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivative with a
reducing agent other than LiAlH4?
(Interesting chemistry though )

Here benzyloxycarbonyl is used to protect the amine , but upon removal via catalytic hydrogenation using Pd 10% no methyl group remained only the
primary amine......
