any ideas?
What a strange question. What makes you think there are only four compounds? You can start with DNA and RNA, but beyond that there are thousands of compounds which are essential to life.

I would guess…DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids?
In massively simplified form:
DNA being storage of info,
RNA used to carry the info out so proteins can be built,
proteins 'do all the jobs'
lipids form layers round things, allowing separation and organisation
