Dihydrocodeinone Enol Acetate, or Thebacon, formerly marketed as its hydrochloride salt under the trade name Acedicon, is a semisynthetic opioid once used as an antitussive, primarily in Europe. It is the esterification product of the enol tautomer of hydrocodone (dihydrocodeineone).

Dihydrocodeinone enol acetate's analgesic and antitussive potency is slightly more than that of its parent compound hydrocodone.

Dihydrocodeinone enol acetate is a controlled substance.
