The primitive part of a cofree Hopf algebra is a B-infini-algebra. We construct a universal enveloping functor U2 from B-infini-algebras to 2-associative algebras, i.e. algebras equipped with two associative operations. We show that any cofree Hopf algebra H is of the form U2(Prim H). We take advantage of the simple description of the free 2as-algebra in terms of planar trees to unravel the structure of the operad B-infini.Minor modificationsQuantum AlgebraAlgebraic Topology16A24; 16W30; 17A30; 18D50; 81R60On the structure of cofree Hopf algebrastext
