Screening of various procedures for the oxidation of a 1,3-diol with a 2-benzylic position; how to obtain the 1,3-diketone?

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508015866

Various oxidizing procedures (Swern, Collins, Dess-Martin, Corey (PCC), MnO₂, TEMPO, Jones) have been screened with the aim of oxidizing a 1,3-diol with a 2-benzylic position, into the corresponding β-diketone. Surprisingly, this functional group interconversion has been successfully achieved only by a special version of the Jones procedure.
