A new photoproduct (''lumitetracycline'', LTc), formed by the irradition of the phototoxic antibiotic tetracycline (Tc) in organic or aqueous media, has been isolated in good yield. Its structure has been deduced from spectroscopic data, primarily one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques. The key structural feature of this photoproduct is the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond between C-4 and C-11a, thus generating a norbornyl ring system within the molecule.
