Answer
ethanamine from Acetonitrile:
Acetonitrile on Mendius reduction yields ethanamine.
ethanamine from Nitroethane:
Nitroethane on reduction in presence of $Sn/HCl$ or $LiAlH_4$ in ether yields ethanamine.
ethanamine from Propionamide:
Propionamide on Hofmann bromamide degradation yields ethanamine.
