A process for preparing EDDN and/or EDMN by conversion of FA, HCN and EDA, the reaction being effected in the presence of water, and, after the conversion, water being depleted from the reaction mixture in a distillation column, which comprises performing the distillation in the presence of an organic solvent which has a boiling point between water and EDDN and/or EDMN at the distillation pressure existing in the column or which forms a low-boiling azeotrope with water.
