Abstract
Non‐petroleum synthetic processes are developed not merely for environmental sustainability, but more crucially for securing supply stability and industrial chain safety. This work innovatively establishes a universal synthesis platform based on shared petroleum and non‐petroleum intermediates. It maintains the consistent high quality of petroleum‐derived products and allows direct feedstock switching to non‐petroleum sources without modifying downstream equipment during petroleum shortages. Guided by element transfer reaction (ETR) theory and verified with adiponitrile, epichlorohydrin, and phenol, this strategy remarkably enhances industrial chain resilience, economic efficiency, and long‐term security.
