There have been numerous experiments that provide a link from inorganic materials to organic matierials. The two of the top of my head are:
The Muller experiment in the 50's that showed the creation of amino acids from ammonia, methane, hydrogen and water.
Oro's work in the early 60's which produced amino acids, and a nucleotide base from an aqueous mixture of hydrogen cyanide and ammonia.
Wikipedia has a nice overview of some of these experiments.
There's also the fact that there are metorites out there full of organic compounds.
The Murchison meteorite as an example of this.
