The 1971 synthesis consisted of treating [[cyclopentadiene]] with [[methyllithium]] in [[dimethyl ether]] and then with [[dichloromethane]] and methyllithium in [[diethyl ether]] at −45 °C. It can also be formed in low yield (along with [[fulvene]] and [[Dewar benzene]]) by irradiation of benzene at 237 to 254 nm.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Kaplan|first1=Louis|last2=Wilzbach|first2=K.

Due to the high [[steric strain]] present in benzvalene, the pure compound (~71 kcal/mol higher in energy than benzene) easily detonates, for example by scratching. |

The compound converts to benzene with a [[chemical half-life]] of approximately 10 days. This [[symmetry-forbidden]] transition is believed to take place through a [[diradical]] intermediate.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1021/cr60276a004| title = Rearrangements and interconversions of compounds of the formula (CH)n| journal = Chemical Reviews| volume = 72| issue = 2| pages = 181| year = 1972| last1 = Scott| first1 = Lawrence T.| last2 = Jones| first2 = Maitland.}}</ref> |

The rings can be [[isomerization|isomerized]] to 1,3-dienes and for this reason polybenzvalene has been investigated as a precursor to [[polyacetylene]]. |
