75. This is imputable to the unfavorable positioning of the 4-COOR substituent: the 5-COOR isomer is smoothly deprotonated at the C-2 Me group (ref 24), presumably because of good resonance stabilization of the ensuing anion.

90. Conceivably, 56 could be made by Rh(II)-mediated condensation of diethyl cyanomethyl-phosphonate with ethyl diazoacetoacetate according to Hoffmann, et al. (ref 27b). However, the modest yield (18%) obtained by these authors in a similar reaction of phosphonoacetonitrile with diethyl diazomalonate discouraged us from researching this possibility.
