I have synthesized a hexapeptide containing glycine, lysine, tryptophan and arginine residues on Wang resin. I have removed the final fmoc group and then cleaved using Cleavage cocktail (TFA:TIPS:Phenol:Anisole:DTT - 8.5:0.6:0.2:0.6:0.1) for 3 hours. Further, I have filtered the resin and concentrated the filtrate on a Rotary evaporator and then poured the solution into chilled Diethyl ether. I am getting a crude peptide but it is sticky and yellowish. I have given may ether washings but still the crude obtained is sticky. What could be the reason?

Due to the unavailability of a lyophilizer, I’m exploring alternative methods. Please suggest what can be done instead.
