How can we synthesize pentanedioic acid from Propanediol 1, 3? I thought of oxidation but I don't have a clear idea

1,3-Propanediol has 3 carbon atoms in contrast to (obviously) 1,5-pentanedioic acid (= glutaric acid), which has 5 carbon atoms. Or else:
Which reactions sequence can substitute the hydroxyl groups and can further lead to the addition of two carboxylic groups in the propane chain?

What reactions have you learned that can make a carboxylic acid?

what do you think you could do witht the functional groups in the molecule that would allow you to install those carboxylic acids?
