A commercial laccase, Suberase® from Novozymes, was used to catalyse the synthesis of 5,6‐dihydroxylated benzo[b]furans and catecholderivatives. The yields were, in some cases, similar to or better than that obtained by other enzymatic, chemical or electrochemical syntheses. The synthesised derivatives were screened against renal (TK10), melanoma (UACC62), breast (MCF7) and cervical (HeLa) cancer
