Popis: A poly[N-(5-hydroxypentyl)pyrrole] film-coated carbon-fiber electrode incorporating palladium metal microparticles was prepared and the catalytic ability in the electrochemical hydrogenation of organic compounds was investigated. This electrode exhibited a high catalytic ability and a strong physical stability with respect to hydrogen evolution. By using this electrode, the electrocatalytic hydrogenation for organic compounds in an organic solvent–buffer solution led to an efficient formation of hydrogenated products, such as saturated compounds, amino compounds, and hydroxy compounds, in high yields and current efficiencies. Furthermore, a catalytic polymer film electrode was successfully applied to the hydrogenative deprotection of a benzyl group and the dehalogenation of bromobenzene in electroreduction media.
