Synergistic dual activation catalysis has been devised for epoxide phenolysis wherein palladium nanoparticles induce electrophilic activation via coordination with the epoxide oxygen followed by nucleophilic activation through anion-pi interaction with the aromatic ring of the phenol, and water (reaction medium) also renders assistance through 'epoxide-phenol' dual activation.

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.
