Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) and LC‐ESI MS was applied in the analysis of ab initio chain end functionalization in cationic polymerization of iso butyl vinyl ether. Well‐resolved mass spectra of vinyl ether oligomers were obtained. The MALDI spectra give information on polymerization and functionalization process, as well as chain end functionality and side reactions occurred in the system.
