1-Hydroxymethylbenzimidazole was synthesized by the reaction of benzimidazole with formaldehyde. Arylsulfonylation of the former in the presence of triethylamine occurred anomalously with deformylation to give 1-arylsulfonylbenzimidazoles in place of the expected 1-arylsulfonyloxymethyl-benzimidazoles.
