Abstract: This invention relates to novel .alpha.-lower alkoxy-o-cresyl carbamates having utility as insecticides and polymer intermediates.

Abstract: New compounds are disclosed of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R' is phenyl, lower alkenyl and halogen substituted and unsubstituted lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, m is an integer from 1-2 wherein when m is 2, R is alkoxy of 1-8 carbon atoms and when m is 1, R is alkylene dioxy of 2-8 carbon atoms. The compounds of this invention are useful as flame retardant agents for textile materials and in the production of polymers and copolymers which possess flame retardant properties.
