Abstract
We show how to translate boundary conditions into constraints in the symplectic quantization method by an appropriate choice of generalized variables. This way the symplectic quantization of an open string attached to a brane in the presence of an antisymmetric background field reproduces the non commutativity of the brane coordinates.

Comments
We included a comparison with previous results obtained from Dirac quantization, emphasizing the fact that in the symplectic case the boundary conditions, that lead to the non commutativity, show up from the direct application of the standard method. Version to appear in Phys. Rev. D
