The electrochemicalreductiveacylation of 2,3-disubstituted 1-indenones in the presence of acetic anhydride in aprotic media such as DMF, DMSO, and aceto-nitrile gave 2,3-disubstituted 1-acetoxy-1H-indenes (2) and 1,2-disubstituted 3-acetoxy-1H-indenes (3) in good yields. The ratios of 2 to 3 in the products were affected by the substituents.
