FORMULA

<< NumberTheory`NumberTheoryFunctions`; a[n_] := (For[m=1, !(Length[FactorInteger[4m+1]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+1] && Length[FactorInteger[4m+2]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+2] && Length[FactorInteger[4m+3]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+3]), m++ ]; 4m+2)

EXAMPLE

a(5)=16467034 because each of the three numbers 16467034-1, 16467034 & 16467034+1 are products of 5 distinct primes (16467033=3*11*17*149*197, 16467034=2*19*23*83*227, 16467035=5*13*37*41*167) and 16467034 is the smallest such number.

MATHEMATICA

<< NumberTheory`NumberTheoryFunctions`; a[n_] := (For[m=1, !(Length[FactorInteger[4m+1]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+1] && Length[FactorInteger[4m+2]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+2] && Length[FactorInteger[4m+3]]==n && SquareFreeQ[4m+3]), m++ ]; 4m+2); Do[Print[a[n]], {n, 2, 6}]
