find: missing argument to -exec not copying

Want copy all files from catalog /usr/sbin to other folder with range beetwen 500kb and a 4M.

First line of code, that I write it's normally do.

find /usr/sbin/ type -f -size +500k -size -4M

But when I add -exec code action above to do it's print err:

find /usr/sbin/ type -f -size +500k -size -4M -exec cp /usr/sbin '/dest-catalog'
find: missing argument to `-exec`
Try 'find --help' for more information

Can't find any answer despite study man, find --help, search answer.
