    The document summarizes classes of organic compounds organized by their functional groups. It provides the IUPAC and common names for specific examples of each class including ethane, ethene, ethyne, bromoethane, methanamine, ethanol, methoxyethane, ethanal, propanone, ethanoic acid, methyl ethanoate, ethanoic anhydride, acetyl chloride, ethanamide, and ethanenitrile. It also lists the priority order of functional groups from highest to lowest as carboxylic acid, anhydride, ester, acid halide, amide, nitrile, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol, amine, ether, alkene, al
