Perhaps a page dealing with oxidation of alcohols with "activated DMSO" should be added. We must agree in a proper definition of different variants of this oxidation.
For example, it is very clear that an oxidation using oxalyl chloride-activated DMSO is a Swern oxidation.
I would like to suggest using the name "Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation" for any DMSO-activated oxidation using a carbodiimide as the activating agent. The name "Moffat oxidation" could be used for any DMSO-activated oxidation.
The Mofatt oxidation is also described at dicyclohexylcarbodiimide page. ChristianoGh 08:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
