IUPAC way of writing prefix of alkyl isomers of an ether
According to Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry: IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book) (P-63.2.2.2), the preferred prefix for the substituent $\ce{(CH3)2CH-O\bond{-}}$ is 'propan-2-yloxy'. Both 'isopropoxy' and '1-methylethoxy' remain permissible in general nomenclature.

Correspondingly, the PIN of the symmetrical ether $\ce{[(CH3)2CH]2O}$ is 2-[(propan-2-yl)oxy]propane.



I'm quite sure the double parentheses are required based on other similar examples given in the Blue Book, but am not 100% sure of the rationale for it and would be grateful if somebody could confirm that. I'm thinking one set comes from P-16.5.1.1 as 'propan-2-yloxy' is a compound substituent, and one more comes from P-16.5.1.2 to separate the locant '2' in 'propan-2-yl' from the remainder of the name, but don't quote me on that.
