## Abstract Anodic oxidation of hexamethylbenzene (**1**) in acetonitrile with Bu~4~NBF~4~ as electrolyte at a platinum anode at +1.7 V (versus Ag/0.01 M Ag^+^) gives mainly 1,3βbis(acetamidomethyl)β2,4,5,6βtetramethylbenzene (**6**). The mechanism of this electrochemical difunctionalisation of a h
