COMMENTS
Differs from A117156 which counts permutations avoiding the *consecutive* pattern 1342. - Ray Chandler, Dec 06 2011
Also, number of permutation of length n avoiding the pattern 3142 (see Stankova (1994) below). - Alexander Burstein, Aug 09 2013
Conjecture: a(n) is the number of permutations of length n simultaneously avoiding patterns 2143 and 415263. - Alexander Burstein, Mar 21 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = (7*n^2-3*n-2)/2 * (-1)^(n-1) + 3*Sum_{i=2..n} 2^(i+1) * (2*i-4)!/(i!*(i-2)!) * binomial(n-i+2, 2) * (-1)^(n-i).
G.f.: 32*x/(1 + 20*x - 8*x^2 - (1 - 8*x)^(3/2)). - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 13 2004
Recurrence: n*a(n) = (7*n-22)*a(n-1) + 4*(2*n-1)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 07 2012
a(n) ~ 2^(3*n+6)/(243*sqrt(Pi)*n^(5/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 07 2012
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 23 because obviously all permutations of length 4 with the exception of 1342 avoid 1342.
MAPLE
a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: (1/2)*(-1)^(n-1)*(7*n^2-3*n-2)+3*(sum((-1)^(n-i)*2^(i+1)*factorial(2*i-4)*binomial(n-i+2, 2)/(factorial(i)*factorial(i-2)), i = 2 .. n)) end proc: seq(a(n), n = 0 .. 30); # Emeric Deutsch, Oct 15 2014
