Let $\mathrm{Ar}$ denote the 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl group. \b[A is the doubly C-alkylated <beta-ketoester>]
$$
\boxed{\mathrm{EtO-C(=O)-C(CH_2CH_2Ar)(CH_2CH_2CH{=}CH_2)-C(=O)-CH_2-O-tBu}}.
$$
The central <carbon> has no <hydrogen> after the second step. The <alkene>, <ester> and tert-butyl <ether> remain intact.
<carbonate> reversibly removes a <proton> from the <methylene group> between the two <carbonyl groups>. The resulting resonance-stabilized <enolate> attacks the primary iodoethyl <carbon> of the aryl-containing reagent by an $S_\mathrm N2$ displacement, releasing <iodide>. The monoalkylated intermediate still has one <proton> at the same activated <carbon>. A second <deprotonation> followed by $S_\mathrm N2$ attack on the primary <bromide> introduces the but-3-en-1-yl group.
The beta-dicarbonyl position is much more acidic than the <methylene group> next to the <ketone> and <ether> at the other end, explaining the alkylation site. Counting the retained <carbon> skeleton gives $\mathrm{C_{24}H_{36}O_6}$, including the two <carbonyl groups> and one terminal <alkene>. The second panel of the original product drawing specifies this connectivity.
