octane + 2 reduced [rubredoxin] + O2 + 2 H(+) = 2 oxidized [rubredoxin] + octan-1-ol + H2O
octan-1-ol + NAD(+) = octanal + NADH + H(+)
octan-1-ol + hexadecanoyl-CoA = octyl hexadecanoate + CoA
octan-1-ol + NADP(+) = octanal + NADPH + H(+)
octyl beta-D-glucose + chenodeoxycholate = beta-D-glucosyl-(1->3)-O-chenodeoxycholate + octan-1-ol
