As an organic chemist I can confirm that this procedure is legit. It reads exactly like a bona fide journal article. The whole thing is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but I think (hope) that anyone would realize this 🙂
The chemistry is pulled directly from the Blagg and Davies paper cited. No unique thoughts went into this other than those meant to couch it humorously.

I can't vouch for the Chemistry (Sorry, Dr. Ngoi), but I think the writing is brilliant!
And I would hope that people know what "apocryphal" means.

But what I admire is the unique thoughts that went into the humorous couching! Honestly, I don't really give a damn about the chemistry.
