Sinha, Hemant K. published the artcileAcidity constants of 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole, Formula: C9H10N2O, the publication is Indian Journal of Chemistry, Section A: Inorganic, Physical, Theoretical & Analytical (1986), 25A(12), 1092-6, database is CAplus.
The effects of solvents and pH on the spectral characteristics of 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazole indicate that methylene group in between hydroxy and benzimidazole ring interferes in their direct interaction and thus each chromophore behaves independently. PH studies on 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-methylbenzimidazole as well as on the compound devoid of 1-Me substituent demonstrate that the monoanion is formed by the deprotonation of imino group rather than the hydroxy group. Proton-induced fluorescence quenching of monocation is observed in moderate solutions
