Let \(V = \oplus _{i\ge 1} V_i \) be a graded vector space over a field \( \mathbb {k}\) of characteristic 0, \( (\mathbb {L}(V), d)\) be a differential free graded Lie algebra and (TV, d) its universal enveloping algebra. We define a multiplicative structure on the cochain complex \( {{\,\textrm{Hom}\,}}_{TV}(TV \otimes (\mathbb {k}\oplus sV), TV)\) which yields the usual multiplication on the Hochschild cohomology \(HH^*(TV; TV)\) . Moreover if \((\mathbb {L}(V), d) \) is a Quillen model of a simply connected, compact and oriented manifold X, we recover the inclusion of the Lie algebra \( \pi _*({{\,\textrm{aut}\,}}_1(X)) \otimes \mathbb {k}\) in the free loop space homology \( \mathbb {H}_*(LX, \mathbb {k})\) .
