Biography

Timothy F. Jamison is the Robert R. Taylor Professor, Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on accelerating chemical synthesis through the development and application of new reactions and technologies, with a particular emphasis on continuous flow synthesis and nickel-catalyzed epoxide-opening cascades. His group is known for improving reaction yields, selectivity, and safety risks compared to batch conditions. They have developed various continuous flow protocols for synthesizing a range of compounds, including amino acids, tetrazoles, and pharmaceutical ingredients like diazepam and lidocaine. Additionally, Dr. Jamison explores carbon–carbon bond–forming reactions promoted by nickel catalysts and aims to replicate natural product synthesis through epoxide-opening cascades. His work not only contributes to synthetic organic chemistry but also aims at developing end-to-end continuous manufacturing processes for active pharmaceutical ingredients.
