The mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of 1,5-dienes was investigated by density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G*). The experimentally observed (unexpected) products, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydrofurans, are formed in a concerted reaction, which explains the observed stereoselectivity of the reaction. Water plays an important role in the reaction mechanism by significantly lowering the activation energies.
