In 1910 E. Cartan constructed the canonical frame and found the most symmetric case for maximally nonholonomic rank 2 distributions in ℝ5. We solve the analogous problems for rank 2 distributions in ℝn for arbitrary n > 5. Our method is a kind of symplectification of the problem and it is completely different from the Cartan method of equivalence. © 2006 Académie des sciences. Published by Elsevier SAS.
