Negative hyperconjugation refers to a phenomenon in organic chemistry where electron donation occurs from a filled p orbital or lone pair on a substituent to a π* (pi anti-bonding) orbital of a neighboring bond, such as a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-heteroatom bond. This process leads to a stabilization of the system by delocalizing the electrons across the molecule.
