You can convert the Propanal into butanone using the two-step conversation.
The explanation is given below:
1) Under the inert atmosphere setting at -78oC, add the methylmagnesium bromide chemical compound to the propanal.
This will convert the propanal to the 2-butanol.
2) Now, oxidize the 2-butanol to 2-butanal with the help of the mixture Chromium trioxide, acetone, and 98% H2SO4.
