I understand that ozonolysis of alkenes leads to formation of aldehydes or ketones or carboxylic acids depending on the type of work up, whether it is reductive or oxidative. But when I tried searc...

Ozonolysis of Alkenes Containing Amines, Allylic Alcohols, and Electron-Rich Arenes for Dealkenylation
Criegee intermediates are transient carbonyl oxide species generated during the ozonolysis of alkenes, and they play a pivotal role in atmospheric oxidation processes. Their formation initiates a ...
So, I've been studying the process of "ozonolysis" and upon reviewing it's mechanism have satisfactorily understood till the formation of "ozonide". I have reviewed several resources and have not found a satisfactory resource depicting the mechanism for the "oxidative/reductive workup" of the formed ozonide.
2 Ozonolysis is the cleavage of an alkene or alkyne with ozone to form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a double bond to oxygen. The ozonolysis of benzene forms Glyoxal through the formation of benzene Triozonide as an intermediate.
The standard mechanism for ozonolysis — the Criegee mechanism — is given for solvents such as dichloromethane, hexanes or any others that do not participate in the reaction in any way (that are inert).
What is the role of dichloromethane in the ozonolysis / Criegee oxidation?
Is this mechanism will be similar to ozonolysis ? My try : My Question is will B be the answer ? And what does Me2S do ?
