To use => you need to be in the context of an associative array in php. In your case you are using it inside a closure:

Route::prefix('productos')->group(function () {

    // This section is incorrect
    'as' => 'products.index', 
    'uses' => 'ProductController@index'
    // Because is not inside an array

    Route::get('crear',[
        'as' => 'products.create', 
        'uses' => 'ProductController@create'
    ]);
...

If I had to guess what you are looking for something like this:

Instead of

'as' => 'products.index', 
'uses' => 'ProductController@index'

You should have something like:

Route::get('listar',[
   'as' => 'products.index', 
   'uses' => 'ProductController@index'
]);

So the endpoint would be productos/listar.

Hope this helps you.

Syntax error

   'as' => 'products.index', 
  'uses' => 'ProductController@index'

Change it like this

 Route::get('products',[
       'as' => 'products.index', 
       'uses' => 'ProductController@index'
  ]);
