Abstract: According to the present invention, a deuterium-substituted marker for fuel is synthesized through substitution with deuterium so as to have structurally and chemically similar properties to those of a molecule configuring fuel oil. A molecule of the deuterium-substituted marker is significantly similar to the conventional molecule configuring the fuel oil, which may prevent illegal removal of the marker by the fake oil manufacturers. According to the present invention, it is able to pursue public safety and environmental protection from fake oil products, and to prevent national tax evasion, by preventing the illegal mixing of fuel oil to secure a legal distribution of the oil market according to the present invention.
