The reagent used for the conversion of allyl alcohol into propenal is
  1. O3/H2O-Zn dust
  2. DIBAL-H
  3. ClO2Cl2/H3O+
  4. C5H5NH+CrO3Cl-

Solution

The reagent which is used for the conversion of allyl alcohol into propenal is C5H5NH+CrO3Cl- [PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate)].

CH2=CH-CH2-OHAllyl alcoholPCCCH2=CH-CHOPropenal

Here, the reagent used should convert -CH2-OH into -CHO (oxidation) without affecting the double bonds.
