“ is not allowed in R as a parentheses.

In the first piece of code you are using “ instead of ".

“ may appear if you copy your code into MS Word first and then into .R file. To securely copy the code pls use Notepad (Notepad++ or IDE) so it preserves " symbol as is and does not transform it into “.
