Further reaction of 5,7-diphenyl-quinoline with phenyl lithium prepared in situ led to the formation of 2,5,7-triphenyl-quinoline. All of the products and their intermediates were characterized and the UV-Vis and photo-luminescence (PL) spectra of m-terphenylamine, 5,7-diphenylquinoline and 2,5,7-triphenylquinoline are also reported. %K Synthesis %K m-terphenylamine %K Skraup reaction %K 5 %K 7-diphenylquinoline %K 2 %K 5 %K 7-triphenylquinoline. %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/12/5/988
