(In reply to re: computer solution by broll)

broll asks if when the search is extended, whether we'll get to triplets where each number has the five distinct factors unrepeated (not squared, cubed, etc.). As noted previously, that would necessarily entail the first and last being odd, so as not to include a factor of 4.  The following list shows solutions which have the sequence begin and end on odd numbers, and in some of these instances, such as the one starting at 16467033, none of the primes is raised to a power higher than 1:
