Anti‐Markovnikov alkyne hydration provides a valuable route to aldehydes. Half‐sandwich ruthenium complexes ligated by 5,5′‐bis(trifluoromethyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine are remarkably active for this transformation. In the presence of 2 mol % metal, a wide range of functionalized aliphatic and aromatic alkynes are hydrated in high yield at ambient temperature.
