COMMENTS
This is a subsequence of A011772, which is really the basic sequence here. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 06 2021

Michel Marcus: for me, the formula still does not work : For n=2, a(2) = 3*A001359(2)*A308344(2)*A006512(1) = 3*5*5*5 = 375

Michel Marcus: the formula a(n) = 3*A001359(n)*A006512(n)*A308344(n). does not seem right : example for n=1; a(1) = 3*3*5*1 = 45 instead of 15

Hugo Pfoertner: The sequence terms are consistent with the definition in the name. I've checked them with a simple PARI program. The questionable formula does not come from me, but Ali quoted my name, although I was not responsible for it.

Hugo Pfoertner: In the case of sequences dealing with twin primes, it usually makes sense to exclude the irregular pair (3,5) and start with (5,7). (3,5) breaks many otherwise valid relationships.
