Need help with a command that I can't seem to get a hold off

First of all, was not sure if this was the right section because there are so many but hey it's a newbie question so this seemed right.

Now for my question:

So what I need is:
I need to search the /etc directory for anything with "passwd" in it. From those results I want the first 2 lines of what was in the found files.
Then it needs to go to the file /root/papier

What I thought would work:
Find /etc –name “*passwd*” –exec head {2} > /root/papier

But for some reason it gives this error: find: missing argument to -exec
I don't get it what needs to go with exec, looked at manpages but still can't figure it out

Try this:

find /etc -name '*passwd*' -exec head --lines 2 {} > /root/papier \;
