Living cationic polymerization is known for a good control over chain growth yielding polymers with well‐defined molar mass distributions and low dispersities. However, the practical challenges involved in the synthesis of poly(vinyl ether)s limited suitable post‐polymerization modifications (PPM) via chemoselective click reactions. Herein the successful controlled cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers bearing pendant CC double and C≡C triple bonds using a single‐component initiation under ambient conditions is reported. Furthermore, the PPM via thiol ‐ene/‐ yne and copper (I) ‐ catalyzed alkyne ‐azide cycloaddition reaction of the obtained polymers is successfully realized laying the foundation for the synthesis of unprecedented functional poly(vinyl ether)s.
