Solution 1
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{...............................................................}\ce{OH}\\
\phantom{.............................................................}|\\
\ce{\underset{Ethanal}{CH3 - CH2 - OH}->[Mild oxidation][KMnO4/dil.H2SO4]\underset{(Two molecules)}{\underset{Acetaldehyde}{CH3 - CHO}}->[dil.OH-][warm]\underset{3-Hydroxybutanal}{CHO - CH2 - CH - CH3}}\
\end{array}\]
Solution 2
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{....................................}\ce{OH}\\
\phantom{..................................}|\\
\ce{CH3CH2OH ->[PCC] CH3CHO ->[dil NaOH][Aldol condensation] \underset{3-Hydroxybutanal}{CH3 - CH - CH2 - CHO}}
