I'm curious, do these work with AHk version 2

I am trying to use this script in Autohotkey version 2:

Error: Missing "propertyname:" in object literal.

094: }
098: {

▶ 098: Send( {Media_Play_Pause})
098: }
099: {

I'm curious, do these work with AHk version 2
Looks like no. I hope somebody will advise how to fix that. Otherwise I'll have to revert to Autohotkey v1x
