Inspired by the work of Radford, for H an arbitrary quasi-Hopf algebra we describe all the Hopf algebras of dimension 2 within the braided category of left Yetter-Drinfeld modules over H and determine the biproduct quasi-Hopf algebras defined by them. Classes of such biproduct quasi-Hopf algebras are obtained by taking H as the Hopf algebra of functions on a group G, endowed with the quasi-Hopf algebra structure provided by a non-trivial 3-cocycle on G (especially when G is a finite cyclic group or the double dihedral group), or as being a quasi-Hopf algebra with radical of codimension two. In this way we uncover new classes of basic quasi-Hopf algebras of even dimension, as well as new classes of tensor categories.
