Herein, we report the catalytic activity of nebivolol nanoparticles a novel organocatalyst for the synthesis of DHPMs and DHPM-5-carboxamides. The nanoparticles are confirmed by DSC, TEM, AFM, and IR spectroscopy. The catalyst can be readily recovered and reused for the next four runs without any significant impact on the yields of the products. The products are fully characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and distortionless enhanced polarization transfer (DEPT) NMR. The methodology adopted here offers several advantages such as solvent-free reaction, low loading of catalyst, short reaction times, and quantifiable yields.
QSAR analysis of two sets of analogues of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine was performed to investigate the relationship between their physicochemical parameters and antibacterial activity. Predictive and statistically significant models were generated. On the basis of these models new compounds were synthesized, structurally characterized and evaluated for their antibacterial potential. The potential of newly synthesized compounds was higher than the training set of compounds, in close agreement with QSAR prediction.
