5 is the only odd number of the form prime(n)*prime(n+1) - 1. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 29 2005

2*A086870(n) is a subsequence of this sequence. They first differ when 313619 is not in A086870, but 2*313619 = 627238 = a(12). This is because 787 and 797 are the first such pair of consecutive primes that are not twins and (787*797-1)/2 is prime. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 22 2015

Example

a(1)=14 because prime(2)*prime(3)- 1=3*5-1=14=2*7;
a(2)=34 because prime(3)*prime(4)- 1=5*7-1=34=2*17;
a(3)=142 because prime(5)*prime(6)-1=11*13-1=142=2*71.
