From the creator

Let's add one more type of reduction to our toolkit. This one is special, because it allows us to go from a ketone all the way to an alkane. It's the Clemmensen reduction, and it has special utility when doing electrophilic aromatic substitution, especially Friedel-Crafts chemistry!
