Highly regioselectiveringopening of oxiranes to beta-hydroxy ethers with phenoxides has been achieved in impressive yields in the presence of beta-cyclodextrin as catalyst and water as solvent.
A catalyst-free regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of epoxides with phenoxides has been carried out efficiently using polyethyleneglycol as the reaction medium to form the corresponding β-aryloxyalcohols in high yields at room temperature.

Chemo- and regio-selective epoxide phenolysis is reported for the first time under neutral condition catalysed by silver nanoparticles. Other metal nanoparticles (e.g., Au, Pd, Cu, In, and Ru) are less effective. The choice of solvent is critical with 2-propanol being the best followed by DEF. Amongst various stabilisers used (surfactants, PEGs, tetra-allcylammonium halides) the tetra-alkylammonium halides are found to be the most effective (TBAF > TBAB > TBACl > TBAI). The role of the silver nanoparticles is envisaged as synchronous mode epoxide-phenol dual activation via a cooperative network of coordination, anion-it interaction, and hydrogen bond. The silver nanoparticles are recovered and reused for five consecutive times. The reaction has been used for the synthesis of propranolol and naftopidil as a few representative cardiovascular drugs.
