The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a promising variational approach for solving Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problems. Existing SAT-to-QAOA workflows first translate Boolean formulas into penalty Hamiltonians before applying generic quantum compilation, thereby discarding SAT-specific information such as clause structure, logical operators, and variable dependencies. Consequently, subsequent compiler optimizations cannot exploit the underlying Boolean formulation. This paper presents SAQC, a SAT-aware compilation framework that introduces a SAT Intermediate Representation (SIR) to preserve Boolean structure during compilation. The proposed framework supports both CNF and XOR-extended CNF (eCNF) formulations and performs SAT-aware optimizations including clause rewriting, dependency analysis, and clause scheduling prior to quantum lowering. Building on the optimized SIR, SAQC provides a unified framework for both penalty Hamiltonian generation and direct clause-to-ansatz synthesis, together with ansatz optimizations based on relative-phase decomposition, ancilla-assisted synthesis, and dynamic uncomputation. Experimental results demonstrate significant reductions in circuit depth, two-qubit gate count, and compilation time compared with conventional Hamiltonian-based workflows while remaining compatible with existing quantum compilation frameworks.
