Abstract It was found that 3‐acyl derivatives of oxindoles, benzo[b]furan‐2‐ones, and benzo[b]thiophen‐2‐ones could be efficiently and conveniently reduced to the corresponding alkyl derivatives by pelletized sodium borohydride in acetic acid. A typical procedure involves heating the acylated substrates for approximately 90 min in a slurry of glacial acetic acid and sodium borohydride to provide the
