Well, the Miller-Urey experiments give us an answer to this.
They showed that organic molecules can be created by discharging electric sparks in boiling water, methane, hydrogen and ammonia, which happens to reproduce quite well the conditions that prevailed on the early Earth.
He showed that this could produce aminoacids, sugars, lipids, nucleic acid bases. There are your basic building blocks.
