I have identified some set of compounds by doing GC-MS analysis. The compounds are
-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol - 1
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, disooctyl ester - 2
9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (z,z,z)- - 3
9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (z,z)- - 4
Hexadecadienoic acid, ethyl ester - 5
n-Hexadecadienoic acid - 6
Octadecanoic acid - 7
phytol - 8
a-Amyrin - 9
I want to know how to separate it by phytochemical classification for example amyrin comes under triterpens.
3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol is phytol generate from chlorophyll. Both are synonyms.
9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (z,z,z)- is Linolenic acid methyl ester. It is fatty ester generate from fatty acid.
9,12-Octadecadienoic acid is fatty acid.
Hexadecadienoic acid, ethyl ester is fatty ester.
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, disooctyl ester is fatty ester.
Amyrin is natural chemical compounds of the triterpene class.

Please, be careful not to include 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester (synonym - diisooctyl phthalate) in your final table of constituents since this compound is a known plasticizer (a compound that is not a native plant metabolite). This compound might have ended up in your sample from the solvent(s) you used (plastic stopers...), or from the packaging material (plastic bags) that you used for the transport/storage of your plant material, etc.
You could find out more on a number of such contaminants in a paper
