Divinylbenzene (DVB) is an organic compound with the chemical formula and structure (a benzene ring with two vinyl groups as substituents). It is related to styrene (vinylbenzene, ) by the addition of a second vinyl group. It is a colorless liquid manufactured by the thermal dehydrogenation of isomeric diethylbenzenes. Under synthesis conditions, o-divinylbenzene converts to naphthalene and thus is not a component of the usual mixtures of DVB.

==Production and use== It is produced by dehydrogenation of diethylbenzene: C6H4(C2H5)2 → C6H4(C2H3)2 + 2 H2 Divinylbenzene is usually encountered as a 2:1 mixture of m- and p-divinylbenzene, containing also the corresponding isomers of ethylvinylbenzene.
