Dear Ankit
With most oxidation agents, including chromic acid based reagents, hexan-3-one (a ketone) will not undergo further oxidation.
However there is the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation where a ketone is treated with a peracid such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to produce an ester: CH3CH2CH2COCH2CH3 -----> CH3CH2CH2O-CO-CH2CH3 + CH3CH2CH2-CO-OCH2CH3
