Rh(I) complexes of azobenzene and anthranilic acid were found moderately efficient towards the catalytic oxidation of internal alkenes, terminal alkenes, and alcohol in C2H5OH-CH2Cl2 (1:1) mixed solvent system both under normal and high pressure of molecular oxygen. No diminished catalytic activity was observed even after 6-8 repeated catalytic runs. Effect of extra ligand on the rate of oxidation,nature and percentage yield of products was investigated.
