Abstract Go against the flow! A rationally designed regioselective hydroformylation catalyst, [Rh/L], in which noncovalent ligand–substrate interactions allow the unprecedented reversal of selectivity from the typical α‐aldehyde to the otherwise unfavored product β‐aldehyde, is reported. This catalytic system opens up novel and sustainable synthetic pathways to important intermediates for the fine‐chemicals industry.
