Best Answer

It's a reaction to add a single alkyl group to a primary amine. It involves creating an imine from the primary amine and an aldehyde and then reducing it to a secondary amine. Other methods of alkylation of amines would add more than one alkyl group.

Which process changes matter into one or more substance?

Depends on the "matter".. Generally a process which turns a single substance into two or more parts is called "Reduction" or "reductive". Some, but not all, chemical reactions are reductive of molecules. But wielding an axe is reductive of trees, and slamming an atom with high powered neutrons is reductive of atomic nuclei ("fission"). Processes opposite of "reduction" include (covalent) "bonding", nuclear "fusion", "crystallization" and (in biology, e.g.) "growth" and "emergence".
