Alchemists were the original chemists in some ways, and total frauds in other ways. Their main intention was to make gold from lead, for obvious reasons. Equally obvious: they were never able to! Chemical reactions don't allow you to change one element into another, although in theory such a transformation is possible by modern nuclear chemistry techniques. But it'd be much easier to just find gold ore buried in the ground!
