Given a pair of nilpotent Lie algebras $A$ and $B$, an extension $0\rightarrow A\rightarrow L\rightarrow B\rightarrow 0$ is not necessarily nilpotent. However, if $L_1$ and $L_2$ are extensions which correspond to lifts of homomorphism $\Phi\colon B\rightarrow \text{Out}(A)$, it has been shown that $L_1$ is nilpotent if and only if $L_2$ is nilpotent. In the present paper, we prove analogues of this result for each algebra of Loday. As an important consequence, we thereby gain its associative analogue as a special case of diassociative algebras.
Keywords: Nilpotent extensions, Leibniz algebras, diassociative, dendriform, Zinbiel.
