The primary amine isoamylamine (3-methylbutylamine) occurs naturally in a number of fruits and is used as a food flavouring: (CH,),CHCH,CH,NH, 3-methylbutylamine Suggest two ways in which it can be synthesised from suitable organic precursors. Note that only one of the two methods you propose may involve the reduction of another nitrogen containing compound. In each case, you should indicate what starting material and other reagents are needed, though details of precise experimental conditions or reaction mechanisms are not required.
