Solution

The given reactant is $H_{3} C - C H = C H - O H | C H - C H_{3}$ . It is a secondary alcohol. Secondary alcohol gives ketone when oxidises by $C r O_{3}$ or pyridinium chlorochromate without carrying out oxidation at the double bond.
$H_{3} C - C H = C H - O H | C H - C H_{3} P C C / - -- \to C r O_{3} H_{3} C - C H = C H - O | | C - C H_{3}$
