A048986
Home primes in base 2: primes reached when you start with n and (working in base 2) concatenate its prime factors (A048985); repeat until a prime is reached (or -1 if no prime is ever reached). Answer is written in base 10.

a(1) = 1 by convention.
The first binary home prime that is not known is a(2295). - Ely Golden, Jan 09 2017
EXAMPLE
4 = 2*2 -> 1010 = 10 = 2*5 ->10101 = 21 = 3*7 -> 11111 = 31 = prime.
