1. Begin with a single six-membered aromatic ring (a phenyl ring) that is numbered such that:
   - Position 1 bears a complex substituent (described in Steps 2-4).
   - Position 4 carries a -CH2-nitrile group, where the nitrile functionality is defined as a carbon triple-bonded to a nitrogen.
2. At position 1 of the ring, a nitrogen atom (N1) is bonded to an sp2-hybridized carbon, which is connected to a hydroxyl group and double-bonded to a second nitrogen atom (N2). This connectivity is represented symbolically as -N-C(O)=N-.
3. The second nitrogen (N2) is connected via a methylene (-CH2-) bridge to a benzofuran ring system, composed of fused benzene and furan rings. In this system, standard numbering is applied: the oxygen in the furan is designated as atom 1, and the two additional carbons in the furan (that are not shared with the benzene ring) are atoms 2 and 3. The methylene bridge attaches to the carbon adjacent to the furan oxygen (C2), while the neighboring carbon (C3) carries a methyl substituent. In the benzene portion of the benzofuran, the carbon opposite the furan oxygen is substituted with a fluorine atom.
