Dihydrocodeinone Enol Acetate, marketed as its hydrochloride salt under the trade name Acedicon and as the bitartrate as Diacodin and possibly other trade names, is a semisynthetic opioid that is similar to hydrocodone and manufactured from Thebaine. It is a narcotic analgesic of the middle range and an antitussive, primarily in Europe although it is no longer in common use. It is the esterification product of the enol tautomer of hydrocodone (dihydrocodeineone). Other salts used in medicine include the hydroiodide and sulphate. It was invented in Germany in 1925.
