Ali Hasan's method wouldn't be a good one as KMnO4 being a very strong oxidising agent will never stop the reaction at aldehyde stage and would oxidise it till it becomes a carboxylic acid
.
Using PCC would be a much better idea to convert it into  an aldehyde and then react it with CH3MgBr followed by acidified water to get propan-2-ol
