Several stereoselective routes to both ethyl α- and β- fenchols 1α and 1β are discussed. Direct addition of ethyllithium to fenchone was the best route to 1α whereas obtention of 1β was achieved through the highly stereoselective retroethylnylation of a mixture of ethynyl α- and β-fenchols 4α and 4β.
