The compound was described in 1988 by Günter Maier and others, who obtained it by pyrolysis of cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione (phloroglucin, the tautomeric form of phloroglucinol).[1] It has also been obtained by flash vapor pyrolysis of 2,4,6-tris(diazo)cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione (C6N6O3).[2]:p.97 It is stable at room temperature in solution.[1] The pure compound is stable up to −96 °C, at which point it polymerizes.[2]
