Abstract: Let $mathcal{E}^{3}subsetT{M}^n$ be a smooth $3$-distribution on a smooth manifold of dimension $n$ and $mathcalWsubsetmathcalE$ a line field such that $[mathcalW,mathcalE]subsetmathcalE$. Under some orientability hypothesis, we give a necessary condition for the existence of a plane field $mathcal{D}^2$ such that $mathcalWsubsetmathcalD$ and $[mathcalD,mathcalD]=mathcalE$. Moreover we study the case where a section of $mathcalW$ is non-singular Morse-Smale and we get a sufficient condition for the global existence of $mathcalD$. As a corollary we get conditions for a non-singular vector field $W$ on a $3$-manifold to be Legendrian for a contact structure $mathcalD$. Similarly with these techniques we can study when an even contact structure $mathcalEsubsetT{M}^4$ is induced by an Engel structure $mathcalD$.
