SWIM is curious if he can use this column for all distillation processes that are used during the who synth
Yes, but fractionnal distillation takes longer. If you go fast you will get no advantage over standart distillation, vigreux column will be simply useless.
SWIM has seen where is is important to insulate glassware between the flask and condensor while distilling ketone, but has not yet got to this point
Simply because un-insulated colum will act as a condenser and you will have too much reflux from there, especially at higher temperature distillation.(Read more about refluxing if needed)
