Unexpected token ILLEGAL ajax post

I am getting the below error in the console log:

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" on 7 line (url: ...).

If I comment line 7, I get this:

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" on 8 line.

I am using jquery-2.1.0.

Here is my code:

var main = function(){
   $('.btn').click(function(){
      var sumCalc = $('#fieldname4_1').text();
      var phone = $('#fieldname18_1').text();
      var adminEmail = "[email protected]";

      $.ajax({
         url: “https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json”,
         type: “POST”,
         data: {
           ‘key’: ‘some key here’,
           ‘message’: {
             ‘from_email’: ‘some mail’,
             ‘to’: [{
                ‘email’: adminEmail,
                ‘name’: ‘admin’,
                ‘type’: ‘to’
              }],
             ‘autotext’: ‘true’,
             ‘subject’: ‘subj’,
             ‘html’: ‘<h1>hello</h1>
                <p>dats phone: </p>’ + phone
            }
         }
      })
      .done(function(response) {
             console.log(response); // if you're into that sorta thing
      });
   });
 }

$(document).ready(main);

You are using curly quotes instead of straight quotes, which JavaScript does not support. Just do a search and replace to replace all curly quotes (“, ”, ‘, ’) with straight quotes (", ').

Just guessing here, but it looks like your editor is inserting some "fancy quotation marks" (“”‘’) instead of the regular ones ("').

JavaScript strings cannot be quoted with ‘ (LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ) and ’ (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK) characters. Use ' (APOSTROPHE) or " (QUOTATION MARK).
