In this work, we report the first use of a salen-based hypercrosslinked polymer-supported Pd catalyst to carry out C-H halogenation. This catalyst can effectively catalyze C-H bromination and chlorination even better than its homogeneous counterpart Pd(OAc)2. It also showed excellent reusability without loss of catalytic activity for ten cycles. A broad substrate scope was explored and moderate to excellent yields were obtained.
