The IUPAC name of carvacrol is 5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol.

Step by step solution

01

Derivatives of phenol

The derivatives of phenol are named hydroxyl benzene if the ring comprises another substituent also, the ring is numbered from the carbon comprising the

-OH in a way that the lowest number is provided to the carbon with the substituent.

02

IUPAC name of carvacrol

The given compound is a derivative of phenol. Numbering the carbon from the hydroxyl group, there is a methyl group on the second position and an isopropyl group on the fifth position. Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is 5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol.
