First note that $KX$ is a Kan complex (because it is a simplicial group). Using the homotopy adjunction and the lemma above we get:
We will prove the following chain of natural isomorphisms:
The first isomorphism \refison{1} follows from the homotopy adjunction in \CorollaryRef{ak-homotopy-adjunction} (note that $KX$ is a Kan complex, since it is a simplicial group).

We will prove that the map in the previous theorem preserves the group structure. We will prove this by endowing a certain cdga with a coalgebra structure, which induces the multiplication in both $\pi_n(KX)$ and $\pi^n(X)^\ast$.

Since every $1$-connected cdga admits a minimal model, we will assume that $X$ is a minimal model, generated by $V$ (filtered by degree). We first observe that $\pi^n(X)\iso\pi^n(\Lambda V(n))$, since elements of degree $n+1$ or higher do not influence the homology of $QX$.

Now consider the cofibration $i: \Lambda V(n-1)\cof\Lambda V(n)$ and its associated long exact sequence (\CorollaryRef{long-exact-cdga-homotopy}). It follows that $\pi^n(\Lambda V(n))\iso\pi^n(\coker(i))$. Now $\coker(i)$ is generated by elements of degree $n$ only (as algebra), i.e. $\coker(i)=(\Lambda W, 0)$ for some vector space $W = W^n$. Define a comultiplication on generators $w \in W$:

Let $Y$ denote this space $Y =(\Lambda, 0)$. Define a comultiplication on generators $w \in W$:
\[\Delta : \Lambda W \to\Lambda W \tensor\Lambda W : w \mapsto1\tensor w + w \tensor1. \]
\[\Delta : Y \to Y \tensor Y : \quad w \mapsto1\tensor w \,+\, w \tensor1. \]
Since the differential is trivial, this defines a map of cdga's. \todo{show the induced maps in $\pi$}
This will always define a map on free cga's, but in general might not respect the differential. But since the differential is trivial, this defines a map of cdga's. We have the following diagram:
The middle part commutes by the naturality of the isomorphisms described in \TheoremRef{cdga-dual-homotopy-groups}. The only thing we need to prove is that the upper triangle and bottom triangle commute.\
For the upper triangle we note that $KY$ is in now a simplicial monoid (induced by the map $\Delta$), and we know from \cite{goerss} that the multiplication on the homotopy groups of a simplicial monoid is induced by the monoid structure.
For the bottom triangle we first note that the isomorphism $\pi^n(Y)\oplus\pi^n(Y)\iso\pi^n(Y \tensor Y)$ follows from \LemmaRef{Q-preserves-copord}. Now the induced map $QY \to Q(Y \tensor Y)\iso Q(Y)\oplus QY$ is defined as $w \mapsto(w, w)$, and so the dual is precisely addition.
So the multiplication on the homotopy groups $\pi_n(KY)$ and $\pi^n(Y)^\ast$ are induced by the same map. So by the commutativity of the above diagram the natural bijection is a group isomorphism.

We get a particularly nice result for minimal cdga's, because the functor $Q$ is the left inverse of the functor $\Lambda$ and the differential is decomposable. \todo{this remark has already been made earlier?}
Recall that for a minimal model $M =(\Lambda V, d)$ the homotopy groups equal $\pi^n(M)= V^n$. So in particular we know the homotopy groups of the space $KM$.
