Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of isobutyl propyl ether: It is an ether with two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom. One group is isobutyl, which is a branched four-carbon group, and the other is propyl, a straight-chain three-carbon group.

Identify the isobutyl group: Isobutyl has the structure (CH3)2CHCH2-. It consists of a central carbon atom bonded to two methyl groups (CH3) and one methylene group (CH2).

Identify the propyl group: Propyl is a straight-chain alkyl group with the structure CH3CH2CH2-. It consists of three carbon atoms in a row.

Examine the provided structures: Look for the structure where the oxygen atom is bonded to an isobutyl group on one side and a propyl group on the other side.

Select the correct structure: The correct structure will have the oxygen atom bonded to a branched isobutyl group and a straight-chain propyl group, matching the description of isobutyl propyl ether.
