Alchemist's main objective was to create the Philosopher's Stone, which was believed to be able to turn lead (and other low metals) into gold or silver. Supposedly it was also a medical cure all -- that is, it would cure all diseases.

Why might alchemists have though they could turn other metals into gold?

Alchemists believed in the concept of transmutation, the ability to transform one substance into another. They thought that with the right combination of ingredients and processes, they could achieve this transformation with metals. Gold was considered the most perfect and pure metal, so alchemists sought to replicate its properties in other metals through their experiments.
