Tert-butyl chloride is not soluble in water. A solution is necessary to perform a distillation.
Many compounds have this formula; for example tert-butylamine.

I think it is to remove the extra water in the tert-Butyl chloride (I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with tert-Butyl chloride), or C4H9Cl, to produce "dry" tert-Butyl chloride. But I'm sure anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) is used as a dessicant.
TBB reacts faster - it has a lower activation energy... :)
