microwave safrole isomerization

anybody tried a microwave for this. other than the huge amount of koh used, any drawbacks or problems for this method. i UTFSE, but came up with zero results strangely, are there any writeups other than rhodiums.
    This method sounds so quick with great yields.

Rhodium

Nothing in TFSE? A simple search for "isomerization microwave" gave among other things the following excellent threads:
