Answer: The conversion is given below.

Explanation:

To convert propanal to butanone, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting propanal to butan-2-ol

When propanal is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis, it results in formation butan-2-ol. This reaction is known as Grignard reaction.

Step 2: Converting butan-2-ol to butanone

When butan-2-ol is reacted with concentrated nitric acid, it results in the formation of a ketone known as butanone.

The conversion is given in the image below.
