I'm looking for a coupling/adapter/reducer that will fit the inside diameter of a 1 1/2" abs pipe, in order to extend drain pipe further from the wall and connect to p-trap for vanity sink.

The existing outlet coming out of the wall is partially recessed into the wall, the old 1 1/2 pipe was cut flush with the connector leaving no way reconnect a piece of pipe (without removing vanity and cutting drywall to access). I could try to chisel/Dremel the old pipe away from the connector and hopefully re-use and re-attach a piece of new pipe to the existing connector. I've tried big box stores and plumbing shop to see if they had anything, no luck. I've seen YouTube video with PEX pipe inserts that resolve similar problems but not sure if anything exists that would work with 1 1/2 abs pipe.

appreciate any info and advice please.

There are tools to solve this correctly by drilling out the stub pipe from the connector hub, leaving the hub reusable. So you just glue in a longer piece of normal pipe, in the usual fashion.

Various names, various prices, quite possibly rentable at your local tool rental.

"Socket Saver" and "Hub Saver" are two names.

Far more expensive, might be worth it to a pro plumber with replaceable bits and a longer pilot section to keep it on track better. Dubious unless you can rent one, for a homeowner's needs - but cheaper than hiring a plumber, I guess - plastic pipe reamer: Pipe fitting reamer from Grainger Plastic pipe reamer from Reed
