A process for the coproduction of 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine starting from adiponitrile bya) hydrogenating adiponitrile in the presence of a catalyst comprising an element of the eighth transition group as catalytically active component, to obtain a mixture comprising 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylenediamine, adiponitrile and high boilers,b) distillatively removing hexamethylenediamine from the mixture comprising 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylenediamine, adiponitrile and high boilers, and eitherc1) distillatively removing 6-aminocapronitrile, and thend1) distillatively removing adiponitrile, orc2) simultaneously distillatively removing 6-aminocapronitrile and adiponitrile into separate fractions is characterized by base of column temperatures below 185° C. in steps d1) or c2).
