Poly[N-(5-carboxyhexyl)pyrrole] coated carbon-fiber electrodes incorporating palladium metal were prepared for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of methyl α-oxobenzeneacetate, 2-cyclohexen-1-one, and diphenylacetylene in an ethanol-buffer solution. The reactions using these electrodes proceeded smoothly to give hydrogenated products in good yields.
