This research paper presents a chemical compiler developed to find optimal configurations of a platform for synthesizing specific branched oligomers in an artificial chemistry, along with exemplary compiler output and benchmarks where the platform configuration suggested by the compiler is compared to other configurations in simulation. The compiler operates as a pipeline with two stages: labelling and optimization. The report explains the structure of the compiler target and its interpretation, followed by a code walk-through of the compiler stages with code snippets and examples. The compiler can be used as a code generator for reactions in a chemical simulator and to derive loading schemes for multilevel droplets. The results obtained in simulations suggest that the container system can efficiently optimize the yield of coupled reaction networks and that multi-level droplets can lead to significant improvements.
