So what's the amount of rest time a person should utilize in between compound sets like pull ups to maximize muscle hypertrophy? (and please also cite studies to back your claim)

Well, for most well trained individuals, 60-90 seconds is optimal rest time. It is a good rule to use because various studies have indicated that 60-90 seconds of rest is enough to recover about 90% of your muscle's capacity to do work.
