Tim Newhouse received his B.A. in Chemistry from Colby College in 2005, and received his Ph.D. in 2010 from The Scripps Research Institute where he worked with Prof. Phil S. Baran and Prof. Donna G. Blackmond. During this time he developed a mechanistically-defined method for the amination of indoles and applied it to the synthesis of psychotrimine, psychotetramine, and the kapakahines. After completing postdoctoral studies with Prof. E.J. Corey at Harvard University, where he completed a stereomechanistic analysis of the Kagan titanium-mediated  enantioselective  sulfoxide  synthesis,  he began his independent career in 2013. His research focuses on using a mechanism-based approach to the development of transition-metal catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions for the purpose of synthesizing neurologically active small molecule natural products. He has recently published on the development of a novel anilide ligand used for allyl-Pd catalysis to dehydrogenate carbonyl compounds.
