Ok, is that a chemical name, or a product name?
It's labelled
"isopropanol" in the States.
Isn't the IUPAC convention to prefix the
carbon number? Like so:
2-propanol?
Or you can call it "Isopropyl alcohol" or just "rubbing alcohol"!
(But you want the 90+% stuff, NOT the 70%)
But I don't think either of those are official convention.
