Detailed Solution

An acyl halide (also known as an acid halide) is a chemical compound that is derived from an oxoacid compound by replacing its hydroxyl group (−OH) with a halide/halogen group (−X).

Acetic anhydride is an acyl halide, while propanoic acid, benzyl alcohol, and ethyl acetate are not acyl halides.
