Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the parent structure: The molecule is based on a benzene ring, which is a six-carbon aromatic ring.
Locate the substituents: There is a fluorine atom and an isopropyl group attached to the benzene ring.
Determine the positions of the substituents: The fluorine atom is attached to one carbon, and the isopropyl group is attached to the adjacent carbon on the benzene ring.
Assign the correct naming convention: The positions of the substituents are ortho to each other, meaning they are adjacent. In systematic naming, this is referred to as 1,2-disubstitution.
Combine the information: The systematic name should reflect the positions and types of substituents on the benzene ring, leading to the name 1-fluoro-2-isopropylbenzene.
