Abstract
Applying Lie's elementary theory for appropriate prolongations to jet spaces of orders 1 and 2, we show that any real analytic hypersurface M5 in C3 which is 2-nondegenerate of constant Levi rank 1 carries two sorts of Cartan-Moser chains, that are of orders 1 and 2.

Integrating and straightening any given order 2 chain passing through any point p in M to be the v-axis in coordinates (z, s, w = u + i v) centered at p, without setting up the formal theory in advance, we show that there exists a convergent change of complex coordinates (z, s, w) --> (z', s', w') fixing the origin in which the chain is the v-axis and in which M has a certain explicit Poincaré-Moser reduced equation.

The values at the origin of Pocchiola's two primary invariants are proportional to two specific Taylor coefficients of this normal form.
