Jul 6, 2020 at 20:33 comment added Najib Idrissi @ConnorMalin Don't all such examples need to be disconnected?
Jul 6, 2020 at 20:28 comment added Connor Malin A non connected example of this is given by $H= \mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/2$ and $G= \mathbb{Z}/4$.
Jul 6, 2020 at 20:17 comment added Connor Malin If you construct two Lie groups such that $H \simeq G$, but $BH \not\simeq BG$ then any homotopy equivalence $H \simeq G$ cannot be homotopic to a homomorphism, since applying $B$ to it would deloop it to a weak equivalence.
