The process involving a rearrangement of pyrrolidino[ 3,4c] pyrrolidine to another pyrrolidino[ 3,4-b] pyrrolidine using sodium methoxide as base is fully studied. The effects of the substituents are analyzed during the ring-opening/ ring-closing sequence. Computational studies are also performed to explain the importance of susbstituents and quaternary carbons, especially when the (3-indolyl) methyl is present in the starting material. Finally, all the samples are evaluated as potential candidates for antibacterial and antimycobacterial activities.
