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.
