Chiral bis-corrole 1 and 2 were prepared by reaction of （s）-2,2′-bis（bromomethyl）-1, 1′-binaphthyl and 10-（4-hydroxylphenyl）- 5,15-bis（pentafluorophenyl）corrole or 10-（3-hydroxylphenyl）-5,15-bis（pentafluorophenyl）corrole in DMF at 60 ℃ in the presence of anhydrous K2CO3 with an isolated yield -8%. Both 1 and 2 exhibit unsymmetrical induced circular dichroism （ICD） in the soret band with positive exciton chirality.
Polystyrene-supported hydroquinone （PS-HQ） is presented as an in situ polymeric cocatalyst to replace polystyrenesupported benzoquinone （PS-BQ） in the PdCl2-catalyzed acetalization of methyl acrylate with methanol in supercritical carbon dioxide （scCO2） under oxygen atmosphere. Due to deletion of H2O2 oxidation step, PS-HQ is more convenient and relatively inexpensive.

1 Introduction Nowadays, green chemistry has received increased attention. The use of water and scCO2 as a solvent or reagent is an important field for organic reactions and green chemistry both in laboratory and industry.
A novel and green method for the synthesis of dimethyl pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate has been developed. It is PdCl2-catalyzed heterocyclotrimerization of methyl acrylate with urea in methanol/supercritical carbon dioxide. The target compound was obtained with a 75% isolated yield under the optimized con-ditions.

The reductive demetalation of manganese corroles was investigated in CH2Cl2/HCl （aqueous） solvent by using SnCl2 as reducing agent. It was found that the demetalation yields depend on the substituents of corrole macrocycle significantly. Electron- rich manganese corrole undergoes reductive demetalation more easily than electron-deficient ones. The isolated reductive demetalation yield of manganese 5,10,15-tris（phenyl）corrole in present system is moderate （46%）. As for electron-deficient Mn（Ⅲ） 5,10,15-tris（pentafluorophenyl）corrole, the acid-induced demetalation in HOAc-HESO4 （V/V = 3：1） is preferable with an isolated yield of 67%.
