COMMENTS
It is conjectured that the sequence is infinite.
This sequence is also the list of primes with k trits that are used in decomposition of 2*3^k into the sum of such two primes. k>=1.
EXAMPLE
For p=2, A274601(p) = 4, which is not a prime, so ignore 2.
For p=3, A274601(p) = 3, which is a prime, so a(1)=3.
For p=5, A274601(p) = 13, which is a prime, so a(2)=5.
MATHEMATICA
p = 2; Table[While[p = NextPrime[p]; cp = 2*3^(Floor[Log[3, 2*p - 1]]) - p; !PrimeQ[cp]]; p, {n, 1, 56}]
