acetaminophen (n-acetate of 4-aminophenol)
Because it can not form the acetyl group easily but above 1000 Celsius acetic acid may form acetic anhydride which may be used to produce acetyl ion. Acetylation by acetic acid using is possible by using cobalt chloride as catalyst with good yield
acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride are more preferred as acetylating agents because they show great reactivity and produced irreversible reactions in the preparation of other acid derivatives. They can serve as intermediates in the conversation of the less reactive carboxylic acids to more reactive classes of compounds.
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
Acetic anhydride and aniline are the reactants for the preparation of acetaanilide.

Add 4-aminophenol to acetic anhydride. The product is paracetamol.

An anhydride is not an acid and not a base.

Acetanilide
The -OH in acetic acid is not a very good leaving group so converting it to an ester is more complicated unlike acetic anhydride which is easier to do so.

To get acetyl chloride, you need to react ethanoyl ethanoate and acetic acid anhydride.
No it is not among these.
