Acetyl chloride (CH₃COCl) is a reactive acyl chloride that can undergo various chemical reactions. To determine which of the given compounds does not react with acetyl chloride, let's consider the reactivity of each:

(A) Di-ethyl ether (C₂H₅OC₂H₅): Ethers are generally unreactive towards acyl chlorides. Therefore, di-ethyl ether does not react with acetyl chloride.

(B) Aniline (C₆H₅NH₂): Aniline, an aromatic amine, reacts with acetyl chloride to form acetanilide (C₆H₅NHCOCH₃) via nucleophilic acyl substitution.

(C) Phenol (C₆H₅OH): Phenol can react with acetyl chloride to form phenyl acetate (C₆H₅OCOCH₃) through an esterification reaction.

(D) Ethanol (C₂H₅OH): Ethanol reacts with acetyl chloride to form ethyl acetate (CH₃COOC₂H₅) and hydrogen chloride gas.

Given this analysis, the compound that does not react with acetyl chloride is:

(A) Di-ethyl ether.
