Seeking opinions on fractional columns and condensers to vacuum distill oil of sassafras albidum.
The lengths are all 250mm - 500mm.

Vacuum jacketed fractionating column:


Jacketed fractionating column with tip for vacuum:


Horizontal condenser for fractional distillation of safrole:




These vertical condensers are for reflux and hard to distill stuff.

Condenser for reflux (Al/Hg):


Allihn condenser for reflux (Al/Hg):


Coldfinger with coil for reflux (Al/Hg):



Distillation and reaction vessel will be a 2L - 3L 3-neck RBF.
Safrole distillation apparatus will have a RBF in an oil bath with magnetic stirrer and fractionating column connected via 3-way adapter to the condenser which drains to a 1L RBF via 2-way adapter.
The sourced Xylene and Nitromethane needs to be distilled too and there is hope that 3 pieces of condenser and column glassware will suffice for all of these.


I like the vacuum jacketed fractionating column (not the one with the tip for vacuum) and the coldfinger coil condenser for reflux.
Vacuum for safrole distillation will be applied at the 2-way adapter between the condenser and distillate RBF.

If you had to get only 3 pieces of glassware from those on top, which would it be?
Suggestions for a horizontal condenser for fractional distillation of safrole are welcome.

You seem to be rather uninformed about what's been done to help people like you long ago elsewhere:

instead of begging for spoon feeding  The end results from the effort applied 

Thanks for the kind words. Those links are quite familiar.

I'll rephrase, can one fractional distill compounds that have 5C - 25C between their boiling points with a Liebig and packing? I was assured this is was impossible, lab grade separation anyways without a Snyder column which isn't easily available to me.
It seems to work well enough as you are pointing me to Zubrick's and other setups with just a distillation head and no fractionating columns in some of those setups.

Distillation isn't new to me, but fractional distillation under vacuum is. Which is what brought about this thread.
Is it considered spoon-feeding to seek opinions on the glassware available to someone? Not everyone has access to a S-A catalog, or perhaps they don't want to go that route and are limited in options. This would not be an issue if one could just go back and keep buying glassware.
