COMMENTS

The definition is similar to Fortunate numbers (A005235) but uses 2^n instead of primorial A002110(n).
Terms a(n) are often but not always prime; sometimes they are prime powers or semiprimes or have a more general form.
An analog of Fortune's conjecture for this sequence would be "a(n) is either a prime power or a semiprime." But even this relaxed conjecture is disproved by, e.g., a(62)=135, a(93)=a(97)=105, a(99)=255.
