This document discusses several classes of organic compounds including alcohols, ethers, thiols, and phenols. It provides examples of common names and IUPAC names for each class and describes their typical uses such as in manufacturing medicines, fuels, solvents, and antiseptics. Methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and their derivatives are highlighted as being used widely in industrial and medical applications. Ethers like diethyl ether are employed as anesthetics and solvents while thiols have functions as odorants and in agrochemical production. Phenol and its derivatives catechol and resorcinol are highlighted as natural products and antiseptics.
