Aldehydes such as butanal, can be oxidised to carboxylic acids (butanoic acid) using air and a catalyst (Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, etc.)
In the lab it is convienient to use an oxidising agent such as potassium dichromate(VI) in aqueous acid.Industrial Organic Chemistry, 3rd. Ed. K. Weissermel, H.-J. Arpe, VCH (1997)
