Explanation: Aliphatic and aryl$/$alkyl primary amines can be prepared by the reduction of the corresponding nitriles with lithium aluminium hydride $\ce{LiAIH_4}.$

Heating alkyl halide with primary, secondary, and tertiary amine can be prepared by reduction of $\ce{LiAlH_4}$ ether followed by treatment with water.

Heating alkyl halide with potassium salt of phthalimide followed by hydrolysis produces primary amine. This process is known as Gabriel's phthalimide reaction. The number of carbon atoms in the chain of amines of the product is the same as a reactant.
