Ozonolysis converts an alkene to an aldehyde or ketone.

Lithium aluminium hydride reduces carbonyls to alcohols but doesn't affect double bonds.

Jones reagent oxidise a primary alcohol all the way to carboxylic acid.

Pyridinium chlorochromate is used to oxidise a primary alcohol into an aldehyde.

do you mean a reaction mechanism? if so it proseeds via bonding of the alcohols oxagyn to the Chlorochromate and forming a Cl- ion with is more stable than Chlorochromate, normally this will have the representation of an [O] above the reaction arrow.
