I did synthesis of 2 peptides (1-20 amino acids) using MDHA Rink resin, I used HBTU (3.7g in 20ml (DMF)), HOBT (1.35g (29ml) NMP)

to get 0.5 M.

For each reaction I used 1 mL HBTU solution, 1ml HOBT and 890 mkl DIPEA, amount or resin was 0.1 mM amd Fmoc-amino acids 5 time excess i.e. 0.5 mM (example C I weight 0.293 g etc.).

Reaction time was 1.5 h, and 20min in (20% piperidine) each step I controlled with ninhydrin test and was fine.

Can anyone suggest what could be reason that I got very low yield?
