If you use the procedure in the first link, but instead of using alpha-bromopropionic acid you use alpha-bromoacetic acid, you will get nitromethane.
alpha-bromopropionic acid = nitroEthane
alpha-bromoacetic acid = nitroMethane
Now, regardless of which one you decide to use, you will still be able to use it in the reductive amination for the honey. The difference lies in which product you will receive.
If you use nitroethane, you will get an Ethyl group substituted on the nitrogen of your product.
If you use nitromethane, you will get a Methyl group substituted on the nitrogen of your product.
If you look up the compounds here, at Rhodium's, the Lycaeum, Erowid's, or elsewhere, you will find information regarding the differences between the type of honey you choose to make.
