The semiprimes of this form are: 6, 38, 51, 123, 146, 291, 326, 731, 843, 1227, 1371, 1766, 1851, 2306, 2603, 2811, 2918, 3027, 3602, ....

There are no four consecutive terms in this sequence, that is, a(n) > a(n-3) + 3 (check mod 6). Probably sieve theory can show that this sequence has density 0. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 24 2023
