Hey all,

I am going to be doing an oxidation of (12Z)-hexadecen-1-ol to the corresponding aldehyde.  I have been told by a professor that if I read the original Swern paper they mention long aliphatic chains do react very well under Swern conditions.  Does anyone have the original paper?  I do not have access to Science Direct.

I am hoping to avoid PCC.

Cheers
