Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the benzene ring in the structure, which is the base of the molecule.
Locate the substituents attached to the benzene ring. In this image, there is a fluorine atom and an isopropyl group attached to the benzene ring.
Determine the positions of the substituents on the benzene ring. The fluorine atom is attached to the first carbon, and the isopropyl group is attached to the second carbon.
Use the ortho, meta, and para nomenclature to describe the relative positions of the substituents. Ortho indicates adjacent positions, meta indicates one carbon between substituents, and para indicates opposite positions on the benzene ring.
Based on the positions of the substituents, determine the systematic name of the molecule using IUPAC naming conventions. Consider the position numbers and the type of substituents to form the name.
