The reaction mechanisms of these transition metal mediated oxidations have been the subject of several computational studies, especially in the case of osmium tetraoxide [7-10], where the controversy about the mechanism of the oxidation reaction with olefins could not be solved experimentally [11-20]. Based on the early proposal of Sharpless [12], that metallaoxetanes should be involved in alkene oxidation reactions of metal-oxo compounds like Cr02Cl2, 0s04 and Mn04" the question arose whether the reaction proceeds via a concerted [3+2] route as originally proposed by Criegee [11] or via a stepwise [2+2] process with a metallaoxetane intermediate [12] (Figure 2).
