Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2; for n > 1, a(n) is the least integer > a(n-1) such that the products a(i)*a(j) for 1 <= i < j <= n are all distinct.

The first 15 terms are the same as A026477; the first 13 terms are the same as A026416.
Contains all primes. - Ivan Neretin, Mar 02 2016

EXAMPLE
a(7) is not 10 because we already have 10 = 2*5. Of course all primes appear. a(14) is not 24 because if it were there would be a repeat among the terms a(i)*a(j) for 1 <= i < j <= 14, namely 3*16 = 2*24.
