if you meant oxidation of cyclohexene into cis-1,2-cyclohexandiol, take a look at the attached file.
Hope that helps ;)

well it's an oxidation performed with an oxidazing agent OsO4 (osmium tetraoxide)and it is not a diagram but a mechanistic pathway. In a first step it undergoes a cycloaddition (pericyclic reaction that gives the cis-configuration) with the double bond of the starting material, yielding an osmate ester which is subsequently cleaved under aqueous conditions to give the desired cis-diol.
