The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of (+)-camphor, a bicyclic monoterpene ketone. The chemical reactions and pathways involving (+)-camphor, a bicyclic monoterpene ketone which is one of the major components in the leaves of common sage. Camphor exists in two enantiomers, but the (+)-isomer is more widely distributed. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of terpenes, any of a large group of hydrocarbons made up of isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways involving monoterpenes, terpenes with a C10 structure. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of monoterpenes, terpenes with a C10 structure. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of small molecules, any monomeric molecule of small relative molecular mass. The chemical reactions and pathways involving any of a class of organic compounds that contain the carbonyl group, CO, and in which the carbonyl group is bonded only to carbon atoms, as carried out by individual cells. The general formula for a ketone is RCOR, where R and R are alkyl or aryl groups. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of substances, carried out by individual cells.
