butanal + NAD(+) + CoA = butanoyl-CoA + NADH + H(+)
butanal + NADP(+) + CoA = butanoyl-CoA + NADPH + H(+)
butane-1-sulfonate + FMNH2 + O2 = butanal + FMN + sulfite + H2O + 2 H(+)
butan-1-ol + NAD(+) = butanal + NADH + H(+)
butan-1-ol + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome c] = butanal + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome c] + 2 H(+)
