A detailed mechanism of allene formation via the ZnI 2 ‐promoted alleylation of terminal alkynes (ATA reaction) was investigated through DFT. The originally proposed pathway for this process was evaluated and accords perfectly with the calculated results. The formation of a propargylamine, the subsequent [1,5]‐hydride migration, and β‐elimination are the key steps of the whole process. The [1,5]‐hydride migration is the rate‐determining step. The main role of ZnI 2 in the whole process is alkyne activation to facilitate the [1,5]‐hydride migration and the stabilization of the zwitterionic intermediate.
