The most official and correct name of the molecule 
is "2-propanol". "Isopropanol" and "isopropyl alcohol" are also valid names 
for the same substance. "Isopropyl" on its own is strictly speaking not a 
valid name as it describes only a part of the molecule. Isopropyl groups can 
also be part of all sorts of other molecules that might not be alcohols at 
all.
