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 acetone, propan-2-one. 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.
