...bump.
In case anyone ever looks at this old thing again. I would have to check because I don't know the boiling point of ether off the top of my head, but since I think a water cooled distillation column might not be cold enough to cause ether condensation, I might run iPrOH or extra EtOH over some dry ice (far easier to get ahold of than liquid nitrogen) and run that through the column.
Also, be careful. I have a bad habit of injuring myself with explosions. Haven't yet had an injury from an explosion without powerful oxidizers present though, so you might be okay with standard safety gear (ex: goggles and gloves.)
