Answer 2

                             Propanal to Propanone

Propanal → CH3CH3CHO

Propanone → CH3C=OCH3

To convert an aldehyde to ketone, follow the steps:

1. Reaction of the aldehyde with Grignard's reagent to form alcohol.
2. Oxidation of alcohol to ketone, using oxidising agents like PCC.

1. CH3CH2CHO + R2-Mg-X → CH3CHOHCH3

            Propanal     + Grignard        Allcohol

                                   reagent

    2. CH3CHOHCH3 + PCl ⇒ CH3COCH3

                                                  Propanone

         Alcoholundergoeso oxidation to form ketone.
