Fractional distillation is where you gradually heat a liquid that consists
of more than one substance.
An example would be a mixture of alcohol and water

Yes, but he was talking about "multi-alkyl-substituted amine
purification", not water distillation (or making moonshine in a still). I
must admit, I can't come up with any multi-alkyl-substituted amines off
the top of my head.
If fractional distillation is gradual distillation by partial boiling
point, what is the process whereby you put filter paper into a solution
and let capillary action carry the lighter molecules to the top called? I
don't think it has any commercial applications, but we were taught this
method in chem. 101.
