My best guesses would be:

1. To produce gold (Au) from other elements.

2. To explore what we today know as chemistry.

Alchemy supposedly is foundation or "birthright" to modern chemistry, which dates from somewhere in the end of the 18th century.

Alchemy drew primarily upon Metallurgy, chemistry and philosophy.
