Begin with a benzene ring, numbered 1 through 6 in clockwise order, carrying four substituents:
- C1 and C4: each bear a fluorine atom.
- C2: carries a methoxy group (-O-CH3).
- C3: carries a 2-methylpropyl (isobutyl) group. This substituent consists of a methylene (-CH2-) attached to the ring, which is bonded to a secondary carbon (-CH-) bearing two terminal methyl groups (-CH3).

Carbons 5 and 6 have only hydrogen. No stereocenters or double-bond geometry are present.
