Effectiveness of 100% oxygen

I heard recently that if you are at high altitude such as FL 410 in a depressurized aircraft using 100% oxygen is not enough to keep you conscious. Is this true or could you stay at that altitude or say in the lower 30's for a long time with O2 masks on. I'm thinking of perhaps on a long overwater cargo flight.
