no la, those are not the really not the actual proper chemical name or CAS. i believe this naming convention is according to the chemist logbook or some catalogue of certain organisation. like AM stands for the name aminesh (chemist), 2 (2nd logbook) 003 (page 3). such naming convention is very common in my line. but that's beside the point.
distilling is good if your stuff is heat stable, volatile and you have a large amount. but it will make things gets even more complicated if the other staff of yours are not heat friendly. beside large amount of losses occurs this way.
try the following since you have the resources to get those equipments.
1) for removal of water soluble inpurities.
wash the whole mixture with water and then add in solvent (can use Ether, dichrolomethane or chloroform). perform extraction (need separating funnel). dry the solvent, throw away the aqueous layer.
so what u have here is purely organic
2) obtained a column of silica purify using this instead with solvent system like (hexane/ehtyl acetate), (methanol, DCM).
doing things this way u will see your yield SHOOT way above what you current got with distillation with as high as 90 percent (this one need skill with column thought).
just a suggestion HEHEHEHE
have fun with your hobby.
